Recently, Director of Li Foundation, Candy, had the privilege to attend Temasek Foundation’s OSCAR Night & Partners Appreciation Event 2025, a meaningful evening celebrating collaboration, community impact, and shared purpose. The event opened with an inspiring address by Prof Leo Tan, Chairman of the OSCAR Fund Grant Committee, setting the tone for an evening filled with inspiration, creativity, and gratitude.
The OSCAR Fund by Temasek Foundation supports ground-up initiatives that address community needs and foster social resilience, particularly among vulnerable populations. It empowers individuals and groups to take action through seed funding, guidance, and partnerships, enabling impactful projects that uplift lives across Singapore.
Other highlights of the evening included a vibrant performance by AMICIS Music x Last Minute, followed by the OSCAR “Growing Sparks” auction. The event concluded with a relaxed networking reception, offering the opportunity to connect with like-minded partners and contributors. It was a heartening reminder of how collective action can grow and sustain impactful initiatives in our communities.
The book showcases how the participants challenged their limits and conquered the World Marathon Challenge and North Pole Marathon to inspire people to challenge their own limits and pursue their dreams boldly.
The book tells the stories behind the event which saw the largest number of people in history running 1045km round Taiwan in 19 days.
