The official charity partner of the 2025 Color Run is Bolshe Chem Mozhesh Foundation.
Bolshe Chem Mozhesh is a charitable foundation supporting the development of inclusive sports. Since 2016, the foundation has helped people with disabilities lead active lifestyle and become amateur athletes regardless of their diagnoses.
The foundation’s mission is to create an environment where people with disabilities can regularly engage in sports, develop motivation, and reshape how society views disability and potential. Most beneficiaries are individuals with cerebral palsy and other conditions that typically make sports inaccessible. Thanks to the support of volunteers, professional coaches, and rehabilitation specialists, participants who once couldn’t take a single step are now crossing finish lines at marathons and races. Inclusive training sessions – where people with and without disabilities train together – help foster closer connections and create shared experiences where none existed before.
