From 8 – 10 September, the charity extravaganza will transform the Event Plaza into a bustling Giving Marketplace for non-profit organisations, social enterprises, and small local businesses to raise funds for charity. Feast on mouthwatering delights dished out by Marina Bay Sands’ signature restaurants, Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer and Yardbird Southern Table & Bar, specially priced for a good cause, or be enthralled by a spectacular line-up of free performances every evening, including headliner acts by Singaporean musicians Benjamin Kheng, Tabitha Nauser, and Annette Lee. Capping off the festivities is the annual Community Chest Heartstrings Walk and Vertical Marathon, which Marina Bay Sands co-organises, on 10 September.

Giving Marketplace
