The Roche Children’s Walk is our largest employee-driven fundraising event. This year marks the 21st anniversary of the Roche Children’s Walk. It’s incredible to see how an employee-driven pilot project to support kids in need has become our biggest employee engagement and philanthropic event.
Since the first company walk in 2003, more than 315,000 Roche employees have raised over $34 million CAD in donations to be used for children’s projects locally and around the world.
Why we do it
At Roche, we believe that children in need everywhere deserve a helping hand towards a brighter future. That's why, every year on a designated day, employees around the world fundraise for global children’s projects relating to education, nutrition, primary healthcare and social development. Employee donations are company matched and used to support children’s projects across the globe through the legally independent charity, Re&Act, and to local charitable organizations.
