In the spirit of the season of giving, SG Cares Giving Week is back to empower us ordinary heroes to unleash our superpower of kindness – no capes required. From December 1 to 7, the annual giving bash is rolling out an exciting lineup of programmes set to the theme of an endearingly localised phrase: "Just Give Lah!" It's a shoutout to every hero, big or small, to give their time, talent, treasure and voice alongside friends and family to support the causes they are passionate about.
First up, Eagles Mediation & Counselling Centre (EMCC) is throwing its Giving Market on December 2 and 3 as part of its Tapestry of Hope campaign. Expect a dialogue session with Beyond The Label ambassadors, mental health talks, artsy workshops, shopping booths, and even a photo exhibit. There’s also a communal art masterpiece in the making at the event, and you get to add your splash of magic to it too!
Make-A-Wish Singapore is making dreams come true with a heartwarming fundraising campaign on Giving.sg, calling for everyone to generously contribute to granting life-changing wishes for children battling critical illnesses. Look forward to the Wishmas campaign where it’s all about spreading joy while you eat, play, and shop your way to making a difference every single day.
Do good and feel good while you sweat for a cause at the Movement For Good Carnival on December 9. Promising an energetic atmosphere, the event brings together members of organiser Push Pull Give, beneficiaries from disadvantaged communities, and the public for a purposeful day of fitness and giving back to the community.
There’s also TDCX Charity Day, which highlights under-the-radar causes and offers a chance for their employees to volunteer with charitable organisations including One (Singapore), Singapore Children Society, House Rabbit Society, and The Red Pencil.
As part of Micron’s 45th anniversary celebration, it is running a charity week initiative from November 20 to December 9 to support six community partners. It’s a reflection of its commitment to community service that also extends to pioneering the inaugural Singapore Micron Chip Camp in collaboration with Science Centre Singapore and Yayasan Mendaki.
