Brother Golden Ring Run 2026 – 653 Kilometers for Childhood Cancer Research

Rain or shine—at Brother International GmbH, no weather can stop them when it comes to a good cause.

At this year’s Brother International GmbH Golden Ring Run, employees and many family members once again ran with full dedication: an impressive 653 kilometers were covered for the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer—a distance roughly equivalent to the route from Brother International’s headquarters in Bad Vilbel to Vienna.

Managing Director Matthias Kohlstrung and Katrin Hill, Head of Human Resources & CSR, symbolically presented the incredible sum of 20,000 euros—money that will go directly toward the foundation’s important research projects.

The Golden Ring Run is a global charity initiative organized by Brother’s corporate headquarters in Nagoya: All branches worldwide join together to form a symbolic ring and run together for a good cause. The Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer has been a regular partner of the German Golden Ring Run since 2014. During this time, well over 160,000 euros have been raised for childhood cancer research.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Brother International GmbH and all the runners. Every kilometer, every lap, and every donation helps us conduct research—and gives more children a chance at a cure.

Research helps cure.
