On December 9, 2023 Shekou was once again turned into a sea of Santas again for the Husky Santa Run, with some serious festive style on display; and what a day it was!

This overwhelming response from the Shenzhen community, for Captivating’s 5th Annual Santa Run, once again leaves us speechless. With COVID restrictions behind us we were delighted that so many of the community came out again and it was a joy to see both spectators and partakers enjoying themselves in the Christmas spirit!

After the event, all children were able to meet Santa himself, the amazing Glenn Ball, and each received a gift, courtesy of our event partner ZURU. This wonderful day was then brought to a close with all our festive favorites sung by the amazing choir from The King’s School Qianhai Shenzhen International! 

We’d like to thank all who participated in the event, with special congratulations to the Santa Run winners, who received medals and prizes on the podium.

The Santa Run raises money to support the work of Captivating and its Chinese registered charity partners through the Shenzhen Charity Federation. Programs include educational support for young girls, financial support for Volunteer Teachers Program, and The Pigs, Poultry and Prosperity Program, which provides some of the most underprivileged the potential to grow a business, and lift themselves out of poverty.

Our sincerest THANKS to the following that made this happen:

OUR SPONSORS

A huge THANK YOU to our Naming Sponsor HUSKY who sponsored our 5th Santa Run, Without your support, this event would not have been possible. The programs and community can’t thank you enough!

And to returning Myrrh Santa Run Sponsor CARDZGROUP, we loved seeing you all back and we are so grateful for your continued support!

VOLUNTEERS

We would have been lost without our incredible Chinese MC Chuqi Luo and finally the 50 energetic student volunteers from SCIE led by the wonderful Gary Ellis and Karen Clancy.

Our MEDIA and the SHENZHEN COMMUNITY

A big THANK YOU to our Media Partners: HERE! Donguan, Global Friendship, That’s PRD, NOW Shenzhen, Urban Family for promoting the event tirelessly. And to YOU, the community, all of the schools, local businesses and friends who had fliers and spread the word and Emily’s cafe, who kindly donated 50% of profits from anyone wearing a red shirt that morning, we are truly, truly grateful.

Finally, a big thanks to the Shenzhen Bay Management, who provided a venue for the Santa Run; to the local police, who ensured a safe and orderly environment for all those who participated; and Vista-SK Medical Centre, for attending to all medical needs.
