Thank you for your generous support! We have raised $260,000 for Daughters Of Tomorrow and Singapore Cancer Society!
Great is caring for our community! As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility efforts to give back to the community, the Reach for Great Fundraising Challenge was launched from 24 May - 30 September 2023 to help raise funds for two charities, Daughters Of Tomorrow and Singapore Cancer Society, supported by Community Chest.
Our Great Eastern Financial Representatives and staff took the lead in this meaningful initiative. Through the efforts of our fundraisers, donations from corporate partners and runners, and contributions from members of the public on Simplygiving, we raised a total of $260,000!
Funds raised will be divided equally between both charity organisations. Thank you for your generous support!
Great Eastern Financial Representatives and staff participated in this Challenge to raise funds as a Team of 4 or as an Individual.
Donations were garnered across 2 ways:
1. Donation through the Team/Individual’s unique fundraising link
Family and friends could donate through the Team/Individual’s unique fundraising link, to support their preferred Team/Individual’s efforts. Donations were made easily via SimplyGiving.
2. Run for a good cause
Teams/ Individuals could also run or walk to clock distance during the Fundraising Challenge (24 May to 30 September) and Great Eastern would match S$1 for every 1km completed (up to S$70,000 across entire Challenge).
