On Thursday 15 October, please join the Kekst CNC team for a 5km fun run to raise funds for the Sina Nafissi Excellence Fund, established in honour of our dear friend and colleague, Sina Nafissi.

The fund honours Sina’s life and legacy. A brilliant alumnus of the Taylor Bennett Foundation (TBF) Summer Stars Internship Programme, Sina completed the programme through a placement with Kekst CNC before joining the firm as an Associate. His intellect, talent and fearless authenticity set a high standard for those around him.

Sina was passionate about increasing ethnic and social diversity across the consulting and communications industries, and about creating opportunities for people from underrepresented backgrounds.

Launched by TBF in partnership with Kekst CNC, the Sina Nafissi Excellence Fund aims to help remove financial barriers faced by ethnically diverse young people pursuing careers in communications.

The fund provides flexible grants to members of the TBF community facing financial hardship at the early stages of their careers. Grants can help cover expenses such as travel and living costs, professional clothing and further training, enabling talented young people to pursue opportunities in our sector without financial compromise.

This run is one way we can come together with the wider TBF and Kekst CNC communities to grow the fund and carry forward Sina’s belief in creating opportunities for the next generation of communications professionals.
