Doing good with donated cigarettes
Smokers give up their smokes to help cancer patients and their families
Singapore
VOLUNTEERS approached smokers at Bugis+ recently to persuade them to give up their cigarettes for a good cause: For each stick given up, event sponsors pledged 60 cents that went towards food items and necessities for cancer patients and their families.
All in, 2,774 sticks of cigarettes, with a street value of S$1,664.40 were donated in this second edition of the Give up for Good (GUFG) campaign.
