Run for a cause. Run2Care.
On Sunday, 3rd January 2027, Dombivli runs for children who are waiting for a heart to be repaired. Run2Care is the flagship charity run of the Rotary Club of Dombivli East, now in its 5th edition. Over four editions it has become one of the most awaited mornings on the Kalyan–Dombivli calendar — first-time runners, families, school groups and serious 10K racers, all on the same start line, all running for the same reason.
Every rupee you pay to register goes to one place: free paediatric heart surgeries at Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital, Kharghar. Over the past three years, Rotary Club of Dombivli East has funded 300+ life-saving paediatric heart surgeries, giving 300+ children a normal childhood. Run2Care 2027 is targeting 100+ more surgeries, as part of a commitment to enable 300+ more over the next three years. You are not buying a T-shirt. You are buying a child a working heart.
