SGX's charity initiative goes virtual

The two-week virtual fundraiser pledges a total of $1.5m to kiskstart the event.

SGX Bull Charge, the flagship charity initiative of Singapore Exchange (SGX), is going virtual for the first time, a news release confirmed. The event will take place from 30 October to 13 November and is open to local and international runners.

The charity run will begin with a virtual three km Chief Challenge involving CEOs and executives. Participants in the virtual Mass Run can run at their own pace and space, with the aim of achieving a collective distance of 100,000 km to form a “charging bull” symbol. The exchange will match contributions dollar for dollar up to $1m and donate a further $5 for every kilometre completed, up to 100,000 km. All proceeds will be distributed to organisations such as AWWA, Autism Association Singapore, Fei Yue Community Services, HCSA Community Services and Shared Services for Charities, the press release added.

SGX Bull Charge claims to be the only corporate charity initiative that brings together Singapore’s financial community and listed companies and has raised $39m since its debut in 2004.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
