At L&E Research, our mission has always extended beyond connecting researchers with the right people: we are committed to making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve. That’s why we were proud to sponsor and participate once again in the Marketing Research Education Foundation’s (MREF) annual Race Around the World for Education. This global event, held throughout the month of May, unites individuals and companies from across the market research industry in a shared goal: to support the education, development, and well-being of children around the world. Participants walk, run, and bike to log miles that symbolize their collective journey and their commitment to giving back.
This year, 41 L&E team members laced up their sneakers, hit the pavement, and moved together in support of a cause close to our hearts. Together, we logged over 2,600 miles – enough to nearly circle the globe or travel from the East Coast to the West Coast of North America. But more importantly, every step was in service of something greater. Funds raised through the event – over $51,000 this year – are being directed to critical programs such as:
We are honored to contribute to these initiatives, which align with our belief that education is one of the most powerful tools for empowerment and equity.
For our team, the Race Around the World isn’t just about fitness or fun (though we enjoyed plenty of both!). It’s about mobilizing our energy, time, and shared values to create tangible impact. Throughout May, we saw team members rally coworkers for group walks, get outside with their families, and share snapshots of their journeys all in the spirit of collective action. Whether walking solo on a quiet morning or biking with friends on a weekend trail, each mile reflected a commitment not just to personal health, but to the health of our global community.
While the race may be over for 2025, our commitment to service is ongoing. We’re grateful to MREF for organizing such a powerful initiative and to our L&E team for showing up with heart, energy, and generosity. As we look forward to participating again in 2026, we remain focused on what matters most: being a people-first company, in every sense of the word.
Because at L&E, we’re not just the people for you. We’re also the people with you, racing forward, together.
