Take A Walk Around The World With NTUC FairPrice
30 August 2014, The Promontory @ Marina Bay
FairPrice Foundation will donate $100 to low-income families
for each sign up; targets to donate up to $1 million
NTUC FairPrice’s (FairPrice) signature walking event, FairPrice Walks With U, is back after a successful inaugural event last year which saw over 5,000 participants and $1 million dollars donated to help low-income families.
Targeted at families, FairPrice aims to promote family bonding and healthy living among Singaporeans through a themed walking event; this year’s theme is “Walk Around the World” where participants will be treated to a carnival of sights and sounds from countries like USA, Japan, and Brazil.
FairPrice expects to attract 6,000 participants this year from all walks of life, especially family units comprising three generations – children, parents and grandparents.
Similar to last year, the NTUC FairPrice will pledge $100 per registration to the FairPrice Food Voucher Scheme via its Foundation. In addition, FairPrice will also pledge an additional $10 in FairPrice vouchers to the Food Voucher Scheme for every Instagram, Twitter or Facebook post that carries the official hashtag #fairpricewalk, along with an accompanying photo or line explaining why walking with one’s family is fun or memorable. FairPrice Foundation targets to donate up to $1 million to the FairPrice Food Voucher Scheme for this event.
This year’s new route will see participants flagged-off at the Promontory against the iconic Marina Bay backdrop. The 5km walk will take the participants past the Marina Bay Sands as they make their way towards the Gardens By The Bay, eventually ending back at the Waterfront Promenade next to the Promontory.
Besides taking in the beautiful scenery, participants can also expect to be entertained by various entertainment acts along the walking route, which has been divided into zones, each representing a different country from around the world.
Immediately after the flag-off, participants will first be greeted by Samba dancers from Brazil, before coming across Greek statues under the Sheares Avenue Bridge.
