SKECHERS Friendship Walk, which started in Manhattan Beach in California in 2009, is an inspiring event that brings people together from all walks of life for a common purpose to support children with special needs and education. The USA edition of the Walk is produced by SKECHERS USA and co-produced by The Friendship Foundation. The event attracted over 13,000 participants annually and supported six education foundations over the past nine years. After nine successful editions in Manhattan, United States and subsequently, China, Malaysia, SKECHERS biggest walk is finally here in Singapore. The Singapore instalment will feature a 5km non-competitive walk that will flag off from Bay East Bridge, towards Tanjung Rhu, then towards Marina Barrage and back to Bay East Lawn. For photo enthusiasts, you will also be able to take photos against Singapore famous skyline with landmarks such as the Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Flyer and Sports Hub. Upon finishing, everyone can also look forward to a carnival where they can enjoy great food and drinks, engaging activities and chill at our movie theatre under the night sky!
CSR Initiative with Singapore Children s Society The inaugural Skechers Friendship Walk announces its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative that aims to bring friendship and family bonding to another level, by being an inclusive society and supporting underprivileged children. Skechers partners Sunbeam Place @ Children s Society, a residential home and gazetted place of safety for children who have been abused and neglected and in need of protection, or whose parents are unable to provide proper care. To contribute to the cause, the public can purchase a pair of Skechers kids shoes at a special price of $30. Skechers will absorb the remaining cost and donate the pair on the buyer's behalf. All shoes will be donated to Sunbeam Place @ Children s Society. PLEASE visit their booth at the event, where you can further help them in this great work. Funds raised will be channelled towards supporting the children and youth at Sunbeam Place @ Children s Society. CLICK HERE TO ADOPT A SHOE
