Connect Singapore - Pledge cards

Dear Parents,

By now, your child would have shown you the Pledge cards that were given to them to participate in "Connect Singapore". This is a Fund Raising Event to raise money for President's Challenge and Heartware Network. Please help by donating generously. Take note that there should be no soliciting for donation in public places.

I will start collecting back the cards + donations on 5th August. Please do not lose the Pledge cards! You would have to make a police report if you lose them! Thank you for your cooperation.

Below are additional related information that you might be interested in.
