The Singapore Bowling Federation, in partnership with CANON, organised a heartwarming event, Strike for Smiles 2024, on 29 June, to support the Singapore Children’s Society and the One Team Singapore Fund.
Thanks to the incredible outpouring of support from the bowling community and the generosity of both individuals and corporations, the initial fundraising goal of $20,000 was not just met but exceeded, with over $40,000 raised for these causes!
The dedicated members of the SBF Council and staff, along with national bowlers, came together to ensure that over 150 participants had a blast at cosmic bowling. Their passion and teamwork led to the success of the event, with additional funds raised through the auction of upcycled bowling pins, creatively transformed by members of the National Development Squad and children from the Singapore Children’s Society.
Esteemed guest of honor, Ms Grace Fu, President of the Singapore National Olympic Committee, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations, had the honour of presenting a cheque of $28,888 to Ms. Joy Lim, Director of Sunbeam Place at the Singapore Children’s Society.
Together, through sportsmanship and compassion, let’s continue to support the needy and keep spreading smiles!
