Thanks to the sold-out UPJŠ RUN race and the entry fees collected, totaling more than 3,500€, the organizers from the Cocktail Pace o.z. purchased 11 televisions and hygiene supplies for the Children’s University Hospital in Košice (DFN).
The donated items were presented on behalf of UPJŠ by Assoc. Prof. JUDr. Ľudmila Elbert, PhD., Vice Rector for Undergraduate and Lifelong Education, and representatives of the Cocktail Pace o.z. to the Director of the DFN in Košice, MUDr. Andrej Koman, MBA, on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The televisions and hygiene supplies will help brighten the daily lives of young patients and enhance their comfort during their hospital stay.
“We believe that sports have the power of bringing people together not only on the running track but also through activities that have real meaning. We are glad that we can contribute to a good cause in this way as well. Our goal is to continue with similar activities, because we see helping others as a natural part of the values on which Cocktail Pace is founded. Sometimes the most important victories happen outside of the track,” said Cocktail Pace Chairman Mgr. Pavol Kopaničák, who expressed his gratitude to all members of the running community who participated in this initiative.
