UOB’s Heartbeat Run has raised over S$23 million for children’s charities since 2007

UOB’s Global Heartbeat Run/Walk is the bank’s largest volunteering and fundraising event, pairing a physical run or walk with corporate fundraising from staff, customers and partners. Since the programme began in 2007, UOB says it has raised more than S$23 million for causes aligned with its Corporate Social Responsibility focus areas: art, children and education.

The event’s most recent edition brought together around 24,000 UOB colleagues, customers and beneficiaries across 18 markets, raising S$3.1 million for 25 charities working with children and their families.

Running the event across all 18 markets at once, rather than as a single Singapore fundraiser, reflects UOB’s broader footprint across Asia.
