The role of ALUMNI communities at higher education institutions is not only to maintain connections between former and current students, but also to actively participate in socially beneficial, humanitarian, and collaborative projects that contribute to the local community. This value was once again demonstrated by the Association of Graduates of the University of Applied Sciences \u201cLavoslav Ru\u017ei\u010dka\u201d in Vukovar ALUMNI VEVU, which, as a co-organizer, made a significant contribution to the successful implementation of the 9th<\/sup> Vukovar Cross-Country Race \u201cI Run and I Help\u201d.<\/p>\n

Despite extremely unfavorable weather conditions, rain, and cold temperatures, the event gathered around 150 participants across 22 categories and once again showed that humanity, togetherness, and solidarity overcome all obstacles. The event gained additional value through the participation of numerous young people, persons with disabilities, blind and visually impaired competitors accompanied by assistants, and retirees, confirming the inclusive character of this unique event.<\/p>\n

All proceeds from this year\u2019s race, organised by the Lions Club Vukovar, are intended for the project \u201cHelp Line\u201d, which provides 24-hour monitoring and assistance to elderly, ill and vulnerable individuals living alone.<\/p>\n

Significant support in organizing and implementing the event was provided by the City of Vukovar, the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS), the Athletics Club Maraton Vukovar, and numerous volunteers who, despite the rain, contributed through their dedication to ensuring the safe and successful realization of the event.<\/p>\n

The ALUMNI Association of the University of Applied Sciences \u201cLavoslav Ru\u017ei\u010dka\u201d in Vukovar extends special gratitude to Dean Assist. Prof. dr. sc. \u017deljko Sudari\u0107, prof. of profess. stud., for his continuous support of the Association\u2019s activities, promotion of humanitarian values, and support in organizing and implementing the Vukovar Cross-Country Race.<\/p>\n

The ninth Vukovar Cross-Country Race once again sent a strong message from the Hero City \u2013 when sport, humanity, youth, and togetherness unite for a noble cause, even the harshest weather conditions cannot stop a good deed.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
