Marina Bay Sands helped raise more than S$4 million for the local community in a series of fund-raising activities over the past month, culminating in the three-day Sands for Singapore Charity Festival over the weekend.

All in, over 2,000 volunteer hours were also amassed from 19 August to 10 September, demonstrating the integrated resort’s successful culture of volunteerism amongst its employees.

People from all walks of life gathered at Sands for Singapore Charity Festival to enjoy the festivities, including seniors from Care Corner Singapore, who were accompanied by Team Member volunteer befrienders.

A three-day charity bonanza, held at the Event Plaza from 8 – 10 September, was off to a raring start with the launch of a special edition of Spectra, Marina Bay Sands’ spectacular light and water show, ushering in an evening of showstopping performances by singer Benjamin Kheng and music duo Jack & Rai. Beneficiaries from Care Corner Singapore, as well as mentees from Marina Bay Sands’ youth mentoring programme with Care Singapore were invited to enjoy the evening with their Team Member befrienders and mentors.

From a Giving Marketplace of local crafts to the sale of food and beverages by Marina Bay Sands’ signature restaurants, the public was encouraged to contribute to the community through a myriad of vibrant fundraising activities. The Festival culminated in the physical edition of the annual Community Chest Heartstrings Walk on 10 September, where 3,300 participants joined in for a 4km evening Charity Fun Walk at the Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade.
