About $12,322 was raised for charities at Singapore Press Holdings’ (SPH) sixth Charity Carnival on 22 May 2017.
The annual bazaar, which was held in the media company’s auditorium, saw 500 staff coming together to support 26 charitable causes. Fourteen local charities and 12 SPH divisions and subsidiaries set up booths to sell an assortment of handicrafts, baked goods and drinks, to raise money for the various charities and adopted causes.
They included CARE Singapore, which protects vulnerable youth, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Singapore (SPCA).
The carnival, which was jointly organised by SPH’s Corporate Communications & CSR Division and the SPH Staff Volunteers Club, brought in $7,000 last year.
