4K 4Charity Run Series Upscales at NAB Show with New 8K Course Option posted: 21/02/2020
Registration begins today for the event, which aims to help increase diversity and inclusion in the technology industry
Today, 4K 4Charity organizers announced that registration is open for the official run of the 2020 National Association Broadcasters (NAB) Show. In addition to the popular 4K (2.49-mile) route, this year's run includes a new 8K (4.97-mile) course option. The run provides a healthy, fun activity for NAB attendees, supports non-profits focused on increased diversity and inclusion in the technology and media industries, and celebrates advancements in video technology, such as Ultra High Definition (UHD) 4K and 8K video. The 4K 4Charity kicks off at 7:00 a.m. US Pacific Daylight Time on Tuesday, April 21 in Sunset Park, Las Vegas. Supporters can register here to participate or select the Choose 2 Snooze option to donate from anywhere.
4K 4Charity Fun Run at 2020 NAB Show will support two programs from the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT): Aspire IT and TECHNOLOchicas-building a more equitable industry by teaching programming to K-12 girls and inspiring Latinas to pursue careers in tech.
We are honored to be a beneficiary of the 2020 4K 4Charity Fun Run and its' support of impactful NCWIT programs, like AspireIT and TECHNOLOchicas-programs that inspire K-12 girls to make their mark with technological innovation, says NCWIT CEO and Co-founder Lucy Sanders. We also couldn't be more appreciative of the Fun Run's participants. Together, we can make great strides in increasing the influential and meaningful participation of women in computing.
We've heard from quite a few 4K 4Charity participants that an 8K course would be a great addition. With all the excitement around 8K UHD ahead of this summer's big sporting events, there couldn't be a more timely opportunity to expand the 4K run and support both of these amazing programs, said Laura Barber, co-founder of the 4K 4Charity. Now, with two distance options and multiple ways to donate, there are even more reasons to get involved, so please sign up today for a healthy, high-impact 4K or 8K experience and show your support for diversity and inclusion in tech!
Complimentary bus transportation will be available to and from select NAB Show hotels and the event at Sunset Park, and light beverages and snacks will be provided. A limited number of sponsorships are available. Please contact 4K 4Charity sponsorship manager, Elizabeth Smith at 4K4Charity@elemental.com.
