Description (Please provide a detailed description of the event in the box below)
The annual Singapore Exchange (SGX) Bull Charge Charity Futsal match featuring Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin, other Members of the Parliament and Singapore soccer legends raised $125,250 for five beneficiaries today.

The event, now in its fourth edition, is part of the annual SGX Bull Charge series, the only corporate charity programme that brings together Singapore's financial community and listed companies to support the needs of underprivileged children and families, persons with disabilities, and the elderly.

The Charity Futsal kicked off with a friendly match between the Parliament Team and the SGX Team. The SGX Team, comprising players such as SGX's Chief Executive Officer Loh Boon Chye and Head of Equities & Fixed Income Chew Sutat, was boosted by guest players including Aleksandar Duric, Fandi Ahmad as well as S Subramani.

A total of 31 teams participated in the Charity Futsal, which also featured female corporate teams and children beneficiary teams for the first time.

Mr Chew, who is also the SGX Bull Charge Chairman, said, What started out 14 years ago as a single charity run has grown into a year-long programme comprising golf, futsal and our flagship charity run. We are grateful for the generous support of our sponsors and the enthusiastic participation of the teams, including our special guest players. It is inspiring to see everyone scoring for a common goal and cause.

Since 2004, SGX Bull Charge has raised more than $29 million for over 50 charities, and targets to raise $3 million in 2017. All funds raised will go to five adopted beneficiaries: Asian Women's Welfare Association (AWWA), Autism Association (Singapore), Fei Yue Community Services, Shared Services for Charities, and Community Chest.

This year's SGX Bull Charge series will culminate in its flagship Charity Run to be held on 17 November at the F1 Pit Building. A key highlight of this year's run will be the Obstacle Team Challenge, Singapore's first-ever charity inflatable obstacle run. More than 5,000 runners took part in last year's run.
