Pühapäeval, 28. mail 2023 ühines komitee teiste ELi institutsioonidega, et osaleda heategevuse eesmärgil Belgia pealinna ühel kõige populaarsemal spordiüritusel, mis toimus juba 43. korda.
See rohujuure tasandi spordiüritus koondas üle 40 000 jooksja ja käija 89 eri riigist.
ELi meeskond kogus vahendeid inimõiguste organisatsioonile Amnesty International.
Komitee teabevahetuse eest vastutav asepresident Laurenţiu Plosceanu koos Euroopa Parlamendi presidendi Roberta Metsola ja Euroopa Komisjoni esindaja Stefaan De Rynckiga andsid lähte jooksu neljandale stardilainele.
Laurenţiu Plosceanu tõstis esile ELi institutsioonide dünaamilist kohalolu üritusel, millega toetatakse demokraatiat ja inimõigusi. Ta kirjeldas rahvamassi kui tsunamit, milles 40 000 inimest jooksid rahu, demokraatia, inimõiguste ja ELi väärtuste eest.
Komitee praktikantide ühenduse 60 liiget jooksid eesmärgiga koguda vahendeid Ukraina sõja veteranidele, koostöös vabaühendusega Promote Ukraine ja spordi abil rehabiliteerimise riikliku nõukoguga. Vahendeid kasutatakse rehabilitatsiooniprogrammide rahastamiseks.
Üritusel, mille korraldas ühing Syndicat d'Initiative – Bruxelles Promotion 1886, osales ka Belgia peaminister Alexander De Croo, kes jooksis Belgia Punase Risti heaks. (at)
