Jakarta RACE (Race Against Cancer Everyone) is organised by Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta in partnership with PT. Roche Indonesia, HSBC and supported with many other corporate sponsors that are committed to support the cancer education, prevention and direct patient support through various programs. Together, they hope to raise funds that will be donated for cancer education, awareness programs and direct financial aid through the Indonesian Cancer Foundation.
