The Children's Charities Association (CCA) is the fund-raising umbrella for 6 childrens charities, namely, the Spastic Children's Association of Singapore (SCAS), Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS), Association for Persons with Special Needs (APSN), St. Andrew's Mission Hospital (SAMH), Singapore Association for the Deaf (SADeaf), and Singapore Children's Society (SCS). The Walk the Extra Mile with Me Carnival will be held on Saturday 2 December 2006 at Civic Plaza (in front of Ngee Ann City). There are 2 parts - the Walkaton and the Carnival.
Walkaton
It will start with a Walkaton from 8.30 to 10.30am. Each participant pays a registration fee of $20 in which they would sponsor one of our disabled client (either a child or adult client) to walk with them. This would create bonding and allowing the participants to mingle with our clients and get to know them better and the challenges they face.The walk is about 2km starting from Civic Plaza and follows the following route:Civic PlazaUp Orchard Road to Tanglin MallCross over to Singapore Post BuildingWalk back down Orchard Road to the Thai EmbassyCross the road to Wheelock PlaceWalk back down to Civic Plaza
Carnival
The Carnival will start at 11am till 9pm at the Civic Plaza. There will be stalls selling food, drinks, handicrafts and game stalls. All purchases made at the carnival would be in the form of coupons. Each coupon ticket is divided into $1 and $2 coupons. This is because all transactions at the Carnival are coupon based.
Mrs SR Nathan is our Guest Of Honor for that day. Mediacorp Channel 5 is also promoting our Carnival on TV and are considering bringing down the Singapore Idols to participate in our Walkaton and Carnival.
