Lets help the Migrant Workers in SG!
Like many, the Purple Monkeys have been following the stories of migrant workers here who are living in local dormitories and have been heavily affected by the coronavirus pandemic. As a club, we thought now is the right time to set ourselves our toughest fundraising challenge to date to help out and show our support.

In support of Migrant Workers Assistance Fund, the humanitarian charity of the Migrant Workers Centre in Singapore, we want to run a virtual relay race of 4,107km from Singapore to Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Throughout May, we will be running as we can in our local neighbourhoods whilst maintaining social distancing and adhering to government guidelines.
We realise how lucky we are to be living in Singapore and are grateful for the work being done to overcome the current situation.
At 4,107km, as a club we will need to cover over 130km every day within our neighbourhoods to complete the challenge.
If we can raise $5 per km, we aim to raise $20,535.
You can follow our progress on Strava by searching for Purple Monkeys FC or follow us across social media.
As well as raising money from within the club, we will also be looking for additional donations and support from our football teams, colleagues, friends and family all over the world.
We appreciate your generosity!
(We will keep you updated with our progress)
