As the 2022 Kabaka Birthday Run nears, telecom company Airtel Uganda has rewarded about  25 Sports Journalists with kits in preparation for the upcoming Run slated for July 3, 2022.

The handover was held on Friday at Airtel Uganda Head Offices, Clement Hill where over 25 journalists representing different media houses in Uganda like David Gombe of Radio Sapientia received the kits.

Noela Byuma, the Acting Head of Brand and Communication, at Airtel Uganda said that they are pleased to handover these kits to their  media partners who have supported them from time to time in covering the Kabaka Birthday Run which the telecom company has sponsored for over 10 years.

Byuma adds that the act of giving out Kabaka birthday kits to Sports Journalists is a sign that Airtel Uganda is supportive of community causes and in continuation of this spirit, they wish to see media partners participate in the run.

However, the journalists appreciated Airtel Uganda for the packages that had a 2022 Airtel Kabaka Birthday Run branded vest, a water bottle, Sim card, and a bag.

The 2022 Kabaka Birthday Run will be held under the theme; “Men against AIDS to Save the Girl Child” aimed at continuing to create awareness about HIV/AIDS and the proceeds from the run will be dedicated towards that cause.

The run will be flagged off by the Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II on 3rd July 2022 at 7:00am, at Bulange Mengo and over 80,000 runners are expected to participate.
