2024 Singapore Cancer Society X ACE leadership collaboration - Service Learning opportunities

Dear SST Family,

We are the SCS@ACE Team, a group of ACE Leaders who collaborate with the Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) to advocate for their work and encourage student volunteers to contribute to their effort.

Relay For Life, RFL 2024, invites people of all walks of life to celebrate Singapore Cancer Society's 60th anniversary in journeying together with Singapore's cancer community, because no one should fight cancer alone. It is an annual overnight event that rallies the Singapore community to celebrate the lives of those who battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and fight back against a disease that has taken many lives.

There are two ways you can volunteer and be a part of the event,

Volunteer for Race Entry Pack Collection (REPC)

The RFL Race Entry Pack Collection (REPC) takes place on the 13th and 14th April 2024, with Morning Shifts (10am-2:30pm), Afternoon Shifts (2pm-7:30pm), or Full Day Shifts (10am-7:30pm) at Kallang Wave Mall. Volunteers will help out in REPC by giving out race packs to runners. You may volunteer on any of these days and shifts to help with the Race Entry Pack Collection.

Volunteer for Relay For Life 2024 Event (RFL)

RFL 2024 will take place on 20th to 21st April 2024 with 3 shifts from 4pm - 11pm, 10pm - 6am, & 5am - 11:30am at Singapore Sports Hub. Do take note that you will not be running but rather assisting with the event. You may volunteer on any of these days and shifts to help with Relay For Life. 

If you are interested in any of these volunteering opportunities, please do fill out this form to sign up! 

Form closes 31 March 2024 12:00pm!

Let’s support the Relay to Save Lives, and make our statement against cancer, to Minimise Cancer and Maximise Lives.
