Singapore Disability Sports Council

The Singapore Disability Sports Council (SDSC) and the Student Volunteer Corps (SVC) will be organizing a joint Flag Day 2007 on 3 February 2007 (Saturday).

The purpose of this Flag Day is to raise funds to sustain SDSC’s and SVC’s community programmes. SDSC provides structured sports programmes for disabled persons as a form of rehabilitation and also, to enable them to realize their fullest potential. SVC provides students with enriching outreach opportunities and grooms them into social leaders.

We would like to invite you to join us as Flag Day ambassadors for this meaningful fundraising activity. Not only will you benefit immensely from interaction with other Flag Ambassadors from the student and the disabled community, you will be supporting two worthy causes while engaging in a day of meaningful activity with your family, friends or colleagues. It is our firm belief that together, our combined efforts and the funds raised will make a valuable and beneficial impact on the communities that SDSC, SVC, and you are part of.
