For our work with communities to be sustainable, it is necessary to have participation from all quarters, and we are delighted by the diversity of the teams today."
Following a charity golf tournament in May and Saturday's futsal event, the SGX Bull Charge programme will hold its grand finale, the 16th annual Charity Run, on Nov 8 at the Marina Bay.
