HCSA Community Services is bringing back Everesting for Second Chances, the only nationwide Everesting challenge supported by Singapore Cycling Federation, National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre, and Yellow Ribbon Singapore.
Everesting for Second Chances will see cycling enthusiasts and athletes challenge themselves and cycle an elevation gain of 8,848m - equivalent to the height of Mount Everest - virtually or physically. An Everesting Event will be organised on 29 June 2024 for participants who require support for their virtual Everesting attempt.
Mr. Eric Chua, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Social and Family Development will be gracing the event as Guest-of-Honour.This campaign aims to galvanise support from the community towards the reintegration journey of our ex-offenders.
Proceeds from the fundraising challenge will be directed towards HCSA Community Services to support ex-offenders. Both HCSA Highpoint and HCSA Academy, signature programmes under HCSA, play a crucial role in reducing Singapore's recidivism rate, aiming for long-term desistance through its comprehensive support programmes and services for ex-offenders during their reintegration.More about our support for ex-offenders:
