About Campaign
ends 31 Dec 2019, 11:59 PMI am a civil servant and one of the happiest moments in my life would be standing on stage to collect my local 3rd prize for Standard Chartered Marathon 2018.
I am excited to participate in Relay Majulah to raise funds for the community. Such running events inspire me. I wish for more such events to happen to garner interest and participation for more runners to play their part for the community in need. I hope that with every step that I make, it would create a better tomorrow for those in need of help.
About the Charity
The President's Challenge is an annual community outreach and fundraising campaign for charities selected every year by the President's Office. It is a call to all Singaporeans in doing their part in building a more caring and inclusive society.
Initiated in 2000 by former President S R Nathan, the Challenge represents the coming together of people from all walks of life, to help the less fortunate. In 2012, under the leadership of former President Tony Tan Keng Yam, the Challenge was expanded to go beyond fundraising by including volunteerism and social
entrepreneurship.
In 2018, President Halimah Yacob announced a $10 million fund (Empowering For Life Fund) which will empower vulnerable groups through skills upgrading, capacity-building and employment.
