Singapore, 1 July 2011 – Tyrepac has announced that they will begin fund raising for the YMCA of Singapore, aiding YMCA’s efforts to help the community through their wide range of programmes. Tyrepac will donate $1 from every tyre sold on Tyrepac Singapore’s website (www.tyrepac.com.sg) to the volunteer welfare organization.
Tyrepac will further assist YMCA by broadcasting upcoming fund raising efforts and events on the Tyrepac website. The sponsorship marks the first time an online retail website is dedicating proceeds to YMCA in Singapore.
“We are proud to be able to do our part for the community by sponsoring YMCA for its cause.” said Tyrepac Managing Director, Ler Hwee Tiong. “With Tyrepac gaining momentum in Singapore, we are pleased to dedicate time and effort to support YMCA in its cause, and hope our effort will also entice more companies to follow suit.”
“We commend Tyrepac for their innovative approach to corporate social responsibility and donating to the YMCA of Singapore. By contributing a part of their profits to supporting the YMCA-Lim Kim San Volunteers Programme, they are allowing their customers to be part of the giving process too,” said YMCA General Secretary Albert L H Ching.
