About - Singtel-Singapore Cancer Society Race Against Cancer 2024

About Us

A Race To Save Lives!

Organised by SCS, RAC 2024 aims to raise funds for cancer treatment subsidies, welfare assistance, cancer rehabilitation, hospice care, cancer screenings, research, public education, and cancer support group initiatives.

Funds raised will help to drive SCS's programmes and services such as the SCS Cancer Care Fund, SCS Cancer Rehabilitation Centre, SCS Cancer Treatment Fund, SCS Help the Children and Youth Programme and the SCS Welfare Aid.

RAC exists to make our statement against cancer, to Minimise Cancer and Maximise Lives.

No one should fight cancer alone - this event invites people of all walks of life to join in the fight and run alongside those who are impacted by cancer.

Funds supports

Cancer Care Fund

A one-off financial assistance that aims to alleviate financial burdens and provide for immediate needs following a cancer diagnosis. This fund is accessible to newly diagnosed patients who meet the income requirements of the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS).

Cancer Rehabilitation Centre

The first and only centre that provides specialised cancer rehabilitation programmes to help cancer survivors, their spouses, and their families. These interventions are designed to help them be healthy, confident, and engaged.

Cancer Treatment Fund

The SCS Cancer Treatment Fund was set up in 2005 to provide financial assistance to needy cancer patients and subsidise part of their cancer treatment costs so that no one is denied access to treatment and proper healthcare due to financial difficulties.

Welfare Aid Fund

The Welfare Aid Fund seeks to mitigate the great financial strain endured by cancer patients and their families, which may arise from unemployment, loss of income and high treatment costs.
