A wave of white t-shirts, bright colors, and boundless energy filled the streets of Port Moresby as the Islands Petroleum Charity Colour Run 2025 brought together people from all walks of life to support the Port Moresby General Hospital. Themed “We Are One,” the event celebrated unity, generosity, and national spirit while raising funds for life-saving medical equipment. Hosted by Islands Petroleum Ltd, the fun run was more than just a festive day of color and music — it was a movement for health and hope. Addressing the crowd, Project Director Kavitha Bluett shared a powerful message: “This is more than a run. It’s about resilience, generosity, joy, and unity — values that define who we are as Papua New Guineans,” she said. “We are here not just for fun, but for a purpose — to give back to the hospital that cares for our families, friends, and communities.” For over 44 years, Islands Petroleum has stood beside Papua New Guineans, supporting the country through natural disasters, economic challenges, and now, community-driven health initiatives. The Colour Run is part of the company’s broader mission to build vibrant, self-reliant communities. Bluett also unveiled a major new initiative: the launch of the Islands Petroleum Charity Foundation, which will focus on improving healthcare, education, youth development, and support for women and children across PNG. “This is just the beginning,” she said. “We’re building something lasting. And if today sparked something in you — if you want to be part of shaping a better Papua New Guinea — we welcome you.” The crowd was encouraged to see their participation as a direct contribution to change. Proceeds from t-shirt sales and donations will help purchase critical medical equipment for the Port Moresby General Hospital. Meanwhile, minutes after the warm-down session, the stadium lit up with excitement when local artist Mal Meninga Kuri took center stage and took the crowd of their feet’s. After his powerhouse performance, he encouraged everyone to work together, stay united as the country approaches its 50th anniversary. The event ended with cheers, music, and a collective call to action: “Let’s run for unity. Let’s run for kindness. Let’s run for purpose.”
