’POSB Run for Kids’ was a charity run organised to help less privileged children. More than 3,500 runners took part in the inaugural event, which raised SGD 250,000. The funds went to the Singapore Children’s Society and an education welfare fund for needy students in primary
schools in Pasir Ris-Punggol Group Representation Constituency (GRC).
’Hair for Hope’ was an initiative in which 23 Singapore staff shaved their heads for charity, raising SGD 120,000 for cancer-stricken children. Following this, a further five staff in DBS Indonesia were inspired to lose their locks for charity. |
