SGX Cares flagged off its hybrid Bull Charge Charity Run today, with close to 4,000 participants in multiple cities across the world. The highlight of this year’s fundraising will be the finale run to be held on 11 November 2022 at The Float@Marina Bay – marking the return of its in-person mass run after a two-year hiatus. Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security Teo Chee Hean will join the finale run as Guest-of-Honour.
SGX Cares Bull Charge also received a boost from Emperador Inc., which has committed S$400,000 as an Elite Bull Sponsor. Listed in Singapore and the Philippines, Emperador Inc. is a leading global spirits company.
Dr Andrew L Tan, Founder and Chairman, Emperador Inc., said, “It is our privilege at Emperador to be one with the regional business sector in championing goodwill through this partnership with SGX Cares. The world continues to hurdle challenges over the past two years, and we celebrate this opportunity to bring smiles to the beneficiaries of this programme. We laud SGX Cares and all the partners of the SGX Cares Bull Charge Charity Run for extending support to communities in need through this noble cause.”
Lee Beng Hong, SGX Cares Bull Charge Organising Chairperson and SGX Group’s Head of Fixed Income, Currencies & Commodities, said, “We are thankful for the support from Emperador Inc., as well as all our corporate supporters and individual donors, who continue to be part of our meaningful cause, embracing the #BetterHappensTogether spirit. As we kick off our final fundraising event of the year, we look forward to seeing all our partners come together for healthy fun while making a difference in the lives of our beneficiaries.”
SGX Cares Bull Charge’s year-long fundraising efforts include the Charity Futsal and other fundraisers organised by SGX Group employees such as the Charity Racing League – a collaboration with Amazon Web Services’ AWS DeepRacer where a series of Reinforced Learning robotic car workshops were conducted before participants battled it out on the race track – and the Ultimate Quiz Challenge with corporates facing off in a battle of wits.
SGX Cares Bull Charge is the only corporate charity initiative that brings together the financial community and SGX-listed companies to raise funds and support the needs of underprivileged children and families, persons with disabilities and elderly. All proceeds will be channelled through Community Chest to this year’s adopted beneficiaries – AWWA Ltd., Autism Association (Singapore), Fei Yue Community Services, HCSA Community Services and Shared Services for Charities.
