SIA raises $2.5m for Community Chest

To be doubled by the Singapore government.

The matched amount will go towards building the capabilities and capacities of the social service sector to meet rising needs.

Through two major fundraising events held in the lead-up to Singapore’s 50th birthday in 2015, Singapore Airlines (SIA) has donated about $2.5 million to Community Chest.

According to a press release by SIA, the donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Singapore Government under the national Care & Share Movement, lifting total funds raised to about $5 million, doubling the benefit to the less privileged.

Earlier in October, Singapore Airlines hosted a Charity Gala Dinner, graced by Emeritus Senior Minister Mr Goh Chok Tong. In addition to table sales, live and silent auctions were held over the course of the evening to help raise $1.28 million for Community Chest’s many programmes.

Singapore Airlines CEO, Mr Goh Choon Phong, said: “Through the collective efforts of our staff, unions and management who volunteered their time to make these two flagship events a success, the SIA Group is pleased to be giving back to the community by helping to raise funds for the less advantaged. We are most grateful for the support provided by members of the public as well as from our loyal customers and the wider aviation community, who all came together to help raise funds for those in need in the lead-up to Singapore’s 50th birthday next year.”

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
