An activity in which a group of people walk a distance together to raise funds.

由来
  • 英语“charity walk”的意译。
  • 义走是新加坡常见的公益筹款活动,通常由社会组织发起,邀请会员和他们的家人朋友参加。有些义走活动,主办方也会邀请工会领袖、议员或部长参加支持。通过义走活动,不仅可以筹到善款,也能促进居民之间的交流。
  • 本地大多数的义走活动主要是通过商家捐款、公众捐献、义买义卖活动等,来进行募款。活动所筹集的善款都会交给慈善团体,用于公益活动。
  • 义走的路程通常在三到五公里之间,一般会安排在空气清新、地域宽阔的场地举行,比如滨海湾广场、东海岸、铁道走廊等地。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “义走” is a paraphrase of the English term “charity walk”.

  • Charity walks are a common activity used to raise funds in Singapore, and are usually initiated by social organisations. Apart from inviting organisation members, as well as their family and friends, some organisers also invite union leaders, Members of Parliament or Ministers to participate and support the event. Charity walks not only raise funds, but also promote interaction between residents.

  • Most charity walks in Singapore are organised to raise funds through donations from sponsors, members of the public, as well as events such as charity bazaars. The funds raised are then handed over to charity organisations.

  • Charity walks are usually between 3 kilometres and 5 kilometres, and held in open areas with fresh air, such as Marina Bay, East Coast Park or the Rail Corridor.
