We have events for all; cycling, running, walking, futsal, golf, even a pub quiz! Do the sport you love (or try a new one!), and arm kids from challenged backgrounds, with skills for a more successful adult life. Check out the pages below!
We are delighted to welcome new 2024 sponsor to our roster, including the esteemed global tyre brand, Pirelli. Also, Walk Japan, BMS Japan, Wild Tame, RGF Executive Search, Simpson Thacher, and Health IQ Plus.
Our 'get fit & give back' philosophy aligned to their own values, and Pirelli were very happy to support KIWL in 2024. Are you ready to join them? We have various packages for companies of all sizes, and 100% of your support is donated to our chosen charity.
A not-for-profit organization that creates life-changing outdoor programs for abused, neglected, and orphaned children in Japan, supporting their growth into happy and successful young adults. Through summer and winter multi-day camps and one-day activities, children are encouraged to overcome their fears, to find self-confidence, and discover the skills to work happily in a team environment, both as a member and leader. Skills needed for their lives beyond care.
Raised for disadvantaged children forced to live in institutional care who can now dare to dream!
KIWL celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2023, but the Knights shall ride on for the kids!
Our 'get fit & give back' philosophy and employees participating for good causes is all companies need!
Our participants come from far and wide; Europe, Asia, Australasia, & the Americas.
Collectively our events have attracted well over 1,000 participants.
Joining KIWL has been a life-changing experience. I've made lifelong friends and seen Japan from a totally new perspective, all while helping out an amazing charity. You don't need to be a professional cyclist (or have even ridden a bike, in my case!) to join this amazing community. If you have the desire to get fit and give back, KIWL is the group for you.
As far as charity golf days are concerned the KIWL event was up there with the best! A fantastic course, lovely company (who tolerated my awful golf!), and some fantastic prizes! Despite my unacceptable score, I had a superb day with golfers of all abilities and above all, the funds raised will be a great benefit to kids in care. Massive thank you to KIWL golf day organizer, Billy Ramsay. Cannot wait for the next one!
I have participated in the Go Go Run since 2019. I found out through a friend, and organizer, Roger Berman, a genuine caring person and so is the event which is welcoming, heartwarming, and fun. The highlight is meeting the kids at the children’s home (before COVID) where you can have fun with them. Do what you love (running/walking) and can help others at the same time, such an amazing thing no matter how big or small.
2019年から参加しています。友人でありGoGoランの創立者でもあるロジャーを通じてこのイベントを知りました。ロジャーは本当に他人への思いやりに溢れていてイベントも人柄がよく出ています。参加者誰もが心地よく、暖かい気持ちになり、そして楽しいイベントです。ハイライトはランの最後に子供たちの施設へお邪魔して子供達と遊んだり様子を少しだけ知ることができること(コロナ前)。自分の好きなこと(今回はランやウォーキング)を通じてしかも誰かのためにもなる。こんな素晴らしいことはないと思っています。
Besides cycling, I also enjoyed KIWL's annual Futsal tournament. It is great knowing donations are making a difference for kids with cerebral palsy who want to play football! Every team had at least one female player and one with CP. The tournament was organized beautifully. Players followed the “10 rules of chivalry”, as we know KIWL always does! The competition was fierce but we were lucky enough to emerge winners.
