Tip ICT Running for charity
Every year, Tip ICT chooses one charity and gets behind it — literally: we run ourselves, cover entry fees and match donations. Running for those who can't run away themselves.

Why we run
Our profession is protecting organisations: against viruses, attacks and downtime. But not everyone can arm themselves that way. Animals and vulnerable people in society don't have endpoint protection or a firewall — and their access to help is all too often conditional.
That's why Tip ICT, as an SME, supports one charity every year that stands up for those who can't protect themselves — especially animals and the vulnerable in society. And we don't just do that with our wallet, but with our legs too: we run ourselves, cover entry fees and match donations.
2026: Running for Samui Street Dogs
42.2 km for the street dogs of Koh Samui
This year, Patrick is personally running the Amsterdam Marathon for Samui Street Dogs: an organisation that rescues, feeds and rehomes street dogs on the Thai island of Koh Samui from its shelter The Haven in Maenam.
- For every completed kilometre, Tip ICT donates € 42,20;
- for a completed marathon, that comes to € 1.780,84;
- Tip ICT also invites clients and business relations to donate one or more kilometres at € 42,20 each.
“Saving Lives, 4 Paws at a Time.”

These relations support Tip ICT Running for Samui Street Dogs 2026
For every kilometre we aim to raise € 42,20 — the marathon distance in euros. This is therefore the minimum donation amount. Tip ICT and Samui Street Dogs hugely appreciate your donation and support. Will you join in?
