B. Braun Charity Run 2025 Raises RM240,000 for Communities in Penang

Bayan Lepas, Penang – B. Braun Medical Industries Sdn. Bhd. (BMI) reaffirmed its commitment to giving back to the community, by donating RM240,000 to three local charities: Friends of Childhood Cancer Northern-M (FOCCAN), Cerebral Palsy (Spastic) Children’s Association of Penang, and the Sg. Ara Community Ambulance.

The donation will be used to support pressing needs, covering medical and living expenses of the children, families and communities supported by the selected organisations. The funds were raised during the seventh edition of BMI’s flagship community initiative, the B. Braun Charity Run. This year’s contribution brings the total funds raised since the initiative began in 2018 to RM1,728,040.

“At B. Braun, our vision to protect and improve the health of people around the world goes far beyond the products we manufacture and the services we deliver – it lives in the way we engage with the communities around us. We make business decisions with a long-term view, guided by our responsibility to the generations of today and tomorrow. The B. Braun Charity Run is a powerful reflection of that commitment, and a testament of how we can turn purpose into action, and action into lasting impact.

“This is more than just a run. It is a movement – one that unites us in compassion, drives us to uplift others, and reminds us that when we come together with a shared purpose, we can create meaningful change that transcends borders, communities and time,” said Mr. Lam Chee Hong, President, Asia Pacific, during an appreciation ceremony held at the company’s premises in Bayan Lepas today.

Also present were Ms. Eva Maegerlein, Senior Vice President of Finance, Controlling & IT, Asia Pacific, and Mr. Hendri Widiarta, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Asia Pacific. The appreciation ceremony was attended by top performers of the charity run, as well as volunteers and committee members.
