Catalyst for Change Award in Community Building
Happy Feet Fun Run in partnership with Tebow Cure Children's Hospital
Snapscale is championing health, inclusion, and hope in Davao City through the “Happy Feet Fun Run,” a unique, employee-powered fundraising initiative supporting children with clubfoot. By teaming up with JCI Davao and Tebow Cure Children’s Hospital, Snapscale has created a vibrant fusion of corporate social responsibility, local sportsmanship, and community partnership—ensuring life-changing surgeries for children who need it most.
Rather than organizing a solo-brand event, Snapscale energizes its people by encouraging hundreds of employees to train together and participate, making charity an avenue for camaraderie and fitness. The annual fun run leverages Snapscale’s hands-on, people-first approach to create meaningful impact far beyond the workplace—raising both money and awareness for world-class, zero-billing treatments at Tebow Cure.
Over two years, more than 1,600 runners have joined the event, fueling surgeries for 25 children living with clubfoot—a life-changing intervention. In 2025, Snapscale’s continued sponsorship and participation aim to surpass previous achievements, furthering not only surgical support but also community education and inclusion. The event’s recognition as one of Mindanao’s most outstanding JCI fundraising initiatives showcases its reach and replicability. Key metrics—runner turnout, funds raised, and the number of surgeries funded—are tracked by a new Snapscale committee to ensure maximum transparency and learning.
Snapscale recognized the potential for combining team engagement with high-impact philanthropy. Instead of investing in siloed events, the company forged multi-year partnerships with established changemakers—Tebow Cure Children’s Hospital and JCI Davao—enabling scale, credibility, and local relevance. The Happy Feet committee promotes widespread employee engagement, fostering a culture where passion and giving back are intertwined.
The initiative creates ripple effects: children not only receive world-class, zero-billing surgical care, but their families and schools witness new possibilities for participation and achievement. Employees experience stronger team bonds and pride, knowing their efforts directly fuel transformative outcomes for local children, while community feedback and annual impact reports continually guide program improvements.
Peter Cowles, Executive Director of the Tebow Cure Children’s Hospital of the Philippines, summarizes: “Thanks for making their dreams come true, to soon put their clubfoot condition in the past and with a zero billing for all services, thanks to this financial support through Snapscale and JCI.”
Anecdotally, dozens of runners and volunteers have expressed how seeing healed, running children at each event brings the cause vividly to life—turning charitable intention into visible, personal achievement.

Now in its third year, the OIR Awards recognize outsourcing companies that have made positive impacts in areas such as community building, education, diversity, and health.
Accompanying the OIR Awards is the comprehensive OIR Report that analyzes each outsourcing company’s impact initiatives and highlights how their projects are transforming lives and industries.
This two-pronged campaign comprises an OIR Awards event, which honors outstanding impact initiatives by outsourcing companies, and an OIR Report, encapsulating the compelling case stories behind these initiatives.
By documenting and acknowledging the far-reaching impacts and corporate social responsibility efforts of outsourcing companies, we aim to foster a broader, more nuanced understanding of the outsourcing landscape and its potential to drive positive change.
