Get ready for a day of fun in the sun on July 18 as  Sevathon 2010 kicks off at Baylands Park, Sunnyvale at 7:30 am which is sponsored by Sierra Atlantic.  The premier walkathon, which derives its name from the Hindi word “seva” or service, is an initiative to bring the community together for  a common cause-supporting those in need of our service.

Over 2000 people are expected to walk/run in the 5k/10k/half marathon and attend the cultural extravaganza, the food fair and a health screening program, which will run simultaneously to the walkathon.

Here is what the CEO of Sierra Atlantic, Raju Reddy had to say about the event in the press release of Sevathon: “It is a unique event that brings together over 38 of the largest and most vibrant non-profits in the Bay Area. We are embodying the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi-he inspired an entire nation via his walk and selfless “seva” to his nation. That’s our cause, “seva” in whatever form, manner or spirit and wherever on the planet. The Sevathon non-profits are working across the globe from village in Africa to the rural heartlands of India. We are simply bringing their work and their passion to the people. We are providing a common platform to our local communities to learn about the amazing work these organizations are doing and choose to help a cause they feel close to”.
