Songkhla and CPF Join Forces for 'CPF RUN FOR CHARITY 2026' to Raise Funds for Youth Education
Over 1,600 runners participated in CPF RUN FOR CHARITY 2026 in Songkhla Province, raising 785,000 baht for Tinsulanonda Fisheries College to support youth education and a memorial to General Prem Tinsulanonda.
Songkhla Province has partnered with Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CPF) and the CPF Running Club to organize a charity walk-and-run event called 'CPF RUN FOR CHARITY 2026.' More than 1,600 dedicated runners came together to share "the power of giving," raising 785,000 baht after expenses, which was donated to Tinsulanonda Fisheries College to support education and contribute to the construction of a historical learning center dedicated to General Prem Tinsulanonda.
The opening ceremony was presided over by Winit Theppanit, District Officer of Songkhla, alongside Kittisak Kwaopanich, Director of Tinsulanonda Fisheries College, and Bunserm Charoonwattana, Senior Managing Director of CPF's Livestock Feed Business Division. The District Officer stated that this collaboration between CPF and Songkhla Province reflects the collective strength of all sectors—government, private, and public—working together to build a strong and sustainable society while promoting health and fostering a spirit of sharing in Thai society.
"The funds from this activity will be used to develop education and support the construction of a monument to General Prem Tinsulanonda within the college, serving as a historical learning resource and source of inspiration for youth," said Kittisak Kwaopanich, Director of Tinsulanonda Fisheries College.
Meanwhile, Bunserm Charoonwattana revealed that CPF is organizing 'CPF RUN FOR CHARITY' for the 11th consecutive year under the concept of "doing good for society." Over the past decade, runners have collectively covered more than 600,000 kilometers, and CPF has delivered a total of 18 million baht to hospitals and various organizations throughout the country to support the purchase of medical equipment and strengthen the public health system, benefiting society as a whole. This aligns with the CP Group's "3 Benefits for Sustainability" principle.
The atmosphere at the event was vibrant and filled with joy, as runners and the public added color to the celebration while enjoying quality food and beverages from brands under the CPF and CP groups. The next 'CPF RUN FOR CHARITY' event will be held at Nong Bon Park in Bangkok, inviting the public to continue spreading "the power of giving" to build a sustainable society together.
