General
Ride and for Rainbows is an annual fundraising cycling event organised by Club Rainbow (Singapore) since 2012. This event aims to raise public awareness as well as funds to support the families of children who suffer from a range of major chronic and potentially life-threatening illnesses. For this year, we are introducing a new element, Climb for Rainbows - a vertical challenge up 31 storeys, in addition to Ride and Ralk (i.e. combining Run & Walk). With the addition of the new category, Ride & Ralk for Rainbows 2025 is targeting to raise $400,000 to support our beneficiaries.
All donations received will go towards sustaining the work which Club Rainbow (Singapore) undertakes. Club Rainbow adopts a holistic approach to help our beneficiaries in 5 core aspects:
  • Social Work Intervention
  • Therapy Intervention
  • Educational Support
  • Arts Development
  • Vocational Development
Club Rainbow provides more than 30 critical programmes, services and assistance schemes to our beneficiaries in each core aspect, some of which include home and hospital counselling, tuition services, social integration programmes, bursary awards and educational workshops.
This year, the event is targeting to raise $400,000 to support our beneficiaries. You can choose to help in one or more of the following ways:
  • Participate in Ride & Ralk for Rainbows or Climb For Rainbows vertical challenge as Rider, Ralker or Climber.
  • Encourage your family and friends to donate to our cause and help you reach your fundraising target.
