HCSA Community Services’ Everesting for Second Chances makes a comeback this June 2024. The Everesting Challenge will see cycling enthusiasts and athletes challenge themselves and cycle an elevation gain of 8,848m – equivalent to the height of Mount Everest. The campaign is proudly supported by Yellow Ribbon Singapore, Singapore Cycling Federation and National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre.
Proceeds from the fundraising challenge will be directed towards HCSA Highpoint and HCSA Academy to support ex-offenders in their reintegration journey. HCSA Highpoint and HCSA Academy play a crucial role in reducing Singapore’s recidivism rate:
Highpoint empowers ex-offenders to attain permanent housing, gainful employment and financial independence, so that they can live a productive, addiction-free life and successfully reintegrate into society. Our Academy team equips ex-offenders with professional skills to secure stable employment in F&B, so that they can better support themselves and their families.
The campaign was launched on 14 April with a bicycle fellowship ride with BikeBaju, Southeast Asia’s leading cycling apparel brand. The ride started at Mount Faber and concluded at HCSA. At the launch event, BikeBaju was introduced as Everesting’s official Jersey Sponsor. This marks BikeBaju’s inaugural collaboration with a Singaporean organisation, formalised by the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed at HCSA.
