Encouraged by the ambition to get ourselves fit(ter!) and united by the passion to support a noble cause, we (hereby called the “ Singapore Sling!”) are participating in the Societe Generale Extra Mile Asia Pacific Charity Challenge.
As embodied by the Singapore Sling drink which is made from unique blend of various sweet, spritzy and colorful ingredients, our team consists of people from diverse backgrounds:
- Sabina Tan - Credit Management Group
- Antoine Barraud - Internal Audit
- Eliza Ng - Corporate Client Coverage South East Asia
- Fangyuan Lu - Corporate Client Coverage South East Asia
- Vicky Lono - Corporate Client Coverage South East Asia
- Aurelien Schwob - Energy Finance and Advisory
- Wen Bing Chang - Energy Finance and Advisory
- Ilyas Hassan - Energy Finance and Advisory
Apart from competing to clock in as much distance as possible (hoping to accumulate 100km collectively for a week), we are carrying an important mission to raise some money for Children Wishing Well (CWW).
CWW itself is a renowned Singapore not-for-profit organization supporting disadvantaged Children’s Educational and Daily Living Needs.
Therefore, we would like to (shamelessly) knock on your generosity and kindly request your support. Thank You for your generous contribution!
Your donation goes a long way in supporting those children’s future, equipping them with skills for their future, so as to build a strong foundation for them to contribute as useful members of society, and escape the poverty trap.
ABOUT SOCIETE GENERALE EXTRA MILE
As part of Societe Generale’s 2021 Group Charity Challenge, the 'Extra Mile' is a one-week initiative inviting all staff across Asia Pacific to form teams and take a collective sporting challenge for a good cause.
To confirm participation in the event, each team is required to
raise funds to support youth education programmes of local
charity partners in the region. Then, from 1 to 7
September 2021, all teams will have 1 common objective:
completing 20,000 km for a donation of 20,000 euros from
Societe Generale to the charity partners*.
ABOUT CHILDREN’S WISHING WELL
Children’s Wishing Well acts for children and youth from low-income families in Singapore in their current educational and daily living needs.
The funds raised will go to support the current educational and daily living needs of more than 1,000 disadvantaged children, equipping them with skills for their future, so as to build a strong foundation for them to contribute as useful members of society, and escape the poverty trap.
