Our Parenting World team joined in the 3M Step-Up Challenge on Thursday, July 6, 2017, at the Singapore Sports Hub (outdoor area outside Kallang Wave Mall) where we joined other sports icons to attempt to break the previous past launch step count records.

This year 3M Step-Up Challenge @ South East’s launch will mark the community initiative’s fifth year milestone. The launch event took place at the OCBC Square, Sports Hub, where participants took to the stairs, trampolines and steppers to break the 200,000-step launch record, while raising 3M household products for 4,000 underprivileged elderly and families in the South East district. It is a meaningful event that Our Parenting World team is happy to support! 

Long-time supporters participating this year include PCF Sparkletots pre-schoolers and CHIJ Katong Primary students. There are also more than 240 employees from 3M, NTUC FairPrice, and Standard Chartered who have volunteered to step-up.

Our Parenting World team took up the 3M Step-Up Challenge attempting to clock as many steps!

“This marks the fifth year that 3M Step-Up Challenge @ South East has benefited the South East community, and we are proud to share that we have come a long way since its beginnings five years ago. The 3M Step-Up Challenge has rallied together residents from various ages and backgrounds, including those from private sectors, and community partners such as schools, grassroots, and many others for a good cause. We thank 3M Singapore and our other community and corporate partners for their valuable partnership, and look forward to continued collaboration in the years to come.” shared by Dr Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman.  

Ms Yuko Nakahira added that “As we step forward towards our fifth-year milestone, in addition to improving lives at home, we are also looking at ways to go beyond products to improve the environment of a community, and plan to refurbish a Senior Activity Centre in the South East District. We are committed to continue our efforts in helping families and elderly, both at home and in community spaces, especially in highly urbanized cities like Singapore.”

For its contributions to the communities of the South East District, 3M was among 33 organizations that was awarded an ‘Excellence Award’ at last night’s People’s Association Community Spirit Awards (PACS).

On the achievement, Ms Nakahira elaborated: “We are honoured to be awarded the PACS Excellence Award in 2017. This reinforces our sustained efforts over the past four years to better the lives of communities, one step at a time.”
