Kilometers that build the "Dom na Zawsze" (Forever Home) of Przylądek for children on the autism spectrum
Many years of cooperation and shared commitment to a beautiful charity cause
Summary
The "Lepszy Start" foundation is facing a huge challenge: building the "Dom na Zawsze" (Forever Home). Unfortunately, there are no real systemic solutions for funding specialist facilities for people on the autism spectrum. They can attend school until the age of 24.
Once they reach that age, the support system for people with disabilities has no care to offer them, and because of their particular needs, they require specialist support. With our "Kilometry dla Przylądka" campaign, we add our brick to building such a facility.
Moving for a noble cause
Every kilometer covered and recorded in the Activy app turns into donations from sponsors to the foundation. The fundraiser's goal is to build the "Dom na Zawsze", a place that will give adults with autism a safe environment to live and grow.
In Poland, systemic care for people with disabilities usually ends at the age of 24. The Lepszy Start foundation is actively working to fill this gap and give adults with autism a dignified place to live.
A big challenge and huge support
From the very beginning, BPX has supported Przylądek, a private primary school for children with autism spectrum disorders. New employees learn about our activities for our "little friends" as early as onboarding. The "Kilometry dla Przylądka" campaign started during the pandemic, when getting moving together was especially needed.
The first edition was organized without a dedicated app and was open only to BPX employees.
It quickly turned out, though, that many more people wanted to help and that together we could achieve even better results. That is why in May 2022 we decided to widen our reach, and the campaign spread across almost all of Poland.
Every year, the "Kilometry dla Przylądka" campaign brings together about 3,000 participants, who raise funds for this noble cause through physical activity.
Thanks to the commitment of companies, sponsors and participants, each edition reaches an impressive 500,000 km and raises PLN 500,000 for the development of the facility.
Steps for a good cause
In the 2024 edition, participants could record steps as a way of taking part for the first time. This new option was met with great enthusiasm and let even more people join this special challenge.
Activity that changes lives
Every year we meet with the company at the BPX gala to sum up the year. From now on, announcing the best employee results in Kilometry dla Przylądka will be a regular part of the gala!
In 2024, as many as 7 people covered 300 km in one month and were awarded trophies for it. There was also a handshake from the CEO ;) We prepared smaller company gadgets for every BPX employee who was active in the challenge.
We are very happy with this year's result and consider the whole campaign a great success, but we want more! Next year we are coming back twice as strong and will certainly invite all of you to take part in Kilometry dla Przylądka in Activy.
This is not an ordinary sports campaign. It is an initiative that shows every year how shared activity can really change other people's lives. Activy has proudly supported it for years, providing the technology that lets participants record their activities and reach big goals together.
