Sands for Singapore Charity Festival is Marina Bay Sands’ signature annual charity event under its community engagement programme, Sands Cares.
Since its inception in 2013, the Festival has welcomed the public to join in raising funds for partner charities through a series of unique fundraising opportunities. More than S$45 million has been raised to support beneficiaries, including low-income families, youths, seniors and persons with disabilities.
This year, Marina Bay Sands will dedicate the month of August to giving back, anchored by month-long initiative Dine for Good. Marina Bay Sands Team Members are also participating in a calendar of volunteer events supporting diverse social causes.
The Festival culminates in a three-day celebration at Event Plaza from 28 to 30 August, featuring gourmet pop-ups, community booths by non-profits and social enterprises, and an interactive family-friendly game supporting NorthLight School. Each night features complimentary live performances by Singaporean musicians to amplify the spirit of community giving.
To celebrate the 12th Festival, Dine for Good is a month-long fundraising campaign where 12 participating signature and celebrity chef restaurants at Marina Bay Sands will donate proceeds from select hallmark dishes to charity. The initiative allows guests to turn everyday dining experiences into meaningful acts of giving.
Proceeds will support multi-service, non-profit organisation AWWA in its Enabled Living @ Bedok programme, a pilot initiative empowering persons with disabilities to live independently and improving their overall wellbeing, autonomy and dignity.
