Our Campaign Story
ends 31 Aug 2016, 11:59 PMDear Members Of The Public,
We are a 4 member youth fundraising group called Team Valiente, made up of 17 year old students from Dunman High School, and part of a larger fundraising project supported by Citi-YMCA called Youth-for-Causes. The team is passionate in making a difference in the community, and have been putting in great efforts to plan out detailed charity events to fundraise for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore).
Through several thoroughly planned out youth initiated events such as Street Sales, enriching workshops and more to be implemented, the team hopes to raise both funds and awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore), and champion their cause in raising the living standards of Muscular Dystrophy patients in Singapore.
Team Valiente seeks for your help in donating any amount to fund the execution of our charity events, and to make a difference in the lives of Muscular Dystrophy patients. Your small act of kindness will definitely make a big difference in our charity project. Down the road, your small donation will brighten the lives of even more Muscular Dystrophy patients, and leave a stark impression on the wider community. If you are interested in volunteering as a performer for our concert, or to sign up for our enriching workshops, do visit @team.valiente (Instagram) or email us at [email protected] for more details.
Thank you!
Yours sincerely,
Team Valiente
About The Charity
The Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore), MDAS, is a non-profit social service agency that empowers persons with Muscular Dystrophy and their families through programmes and services. MDAS is a full member of NCSS and a registered charity with IPC (Institution of Public Character) status.
Since our inception in March 2000, our mission is:
- To provide care and support to people with Muscular Dystrophy;
- To provide health and public education on Muscular Dystrophy;
- And to support medical research on Muscular Dystrophy
Muscular Dystrophy (MD) is a group of genetic physical conditions characterised by muscle-weakening and contractures. Persons with MD face challenges with activities of daily living, from flipping a page in a book, to toileting and bathing. Many persons with MD have to rely on mobility aids, especially a motorised wheelchair, in order to commute. There is currently no known cure for MD.
Your generous donation will go towards supporting MDAS's operating expenditure in providing programmes, services, all supporting costs for over 500 beneficiaries and sustain its operating activities.
