Description (Please provide a detailed description of the event in the box below)
Closing another successful year of fundraising with the Charity Run held today, SGX s flagship charity programme Bull Charge raised more than S$2.6 million in proceeds this year.

Started in 2004, Bull Charge is SGX s year-long charity initiative that brings the financial community and SGX-listed companies together to raise funds that go towards making a difference in the lives of the less privileged. Now in its 13th year, the Charity Run follows a golf tournament and futsal event that took place earlier this year. A total of 90 corporate sponsors supported SGX s Bull Charge initiative in 2016, including Bull Charge Run Diamond Bull Sponsors Cisco, Dell EMC, HCL, Nasdaq and Thai Beverage.

Gracing the Bull Charge Charity Run as Guest-of-Honour this year is Ms Indranee Rajah, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Finance & Ministry of Law, who flagged off the 5km Mass Run at The Float @ Marina Bay involving over 5000 runners. Ms Indranee also flagged off the 3km Chief Challenge Run, where 65 CEOs and Chief of Companies came together to race for a common cause.

Mr Loh Boon Chye, Chief Executive Officer at SGX, said, "SGX Bull Charge was launched with the vision of rallying our sponsors, listed companies and Singapore s financial community for the common cause of contributing towards our wider community. Year after year, we are deeply heartened by the immense support that we continue to receive. Today s run is a grand finale to the 2016 Bull Charge initiative, and I would like to thank everyone who has played a part in making it a success. We look forward to racing ahead together to engage and benefit more individuals in need, in the years to come."

All proceeds collected from events conducted throughout the year will be channelled towards supporting the needs of underprivileged children and families, persons with disabilities, and the elderly, through four charities the Asian Women s Welfare Association, Autism Association (Singapore), Fei Yue Community Services and Shared Services for Charities.

Over the past 13 years, Bull Charge has raised over S$29 million for over 50 different charities.
