ABOUT BLUESTAR 2021
BlueStar 2021 is a charity walk and cycle movement initiated by a group of like-minded old boys and girls of ex-NPCC Cadet Inspectors and friends, who have come together and organised a Charity Virtual Walk in aid of the Red Cross Home for the Disabled (“RCHD”) in 2021. We are in our fourth year and we plan to raise $250,000 for the RCHD in 2021.
You’ll also be pleased to know that your Individual or Corporate donations will be entitled to 2.5 times tax relief. The Síngapore Tote Board will also match $0.40 per $1 raised. In short, every $1 raised will result in $1.40 to the beneficiaries.
