On Sunday (Jun 15) at Assisi Fun Day 2025, two teams from City Developments Limited (CDL) battled it out in a four-legged relay race to move as many foam balls as possible by sandwiching them between their heads, shoulders and torsos. They had to complete this 14 m shuttle relay within three minutes.
Supporters and partners of CDL pledged donations for every ball that was deposited at the finish point. In total, the two teams transported 59 balls and raised S$150,000.
The relay race was held for this year’s CDL Challenge, an annual signature charity event at Assisi Fun Day led by group chief executive Sherman Kwek since its inception in 2017. It aims to raise funds for Assisi Hospice.
