A charity walk organized by SIP New Social Groups Association kicked off by the “Flying” sculpture in Jinji Lake Scenic Area, SIP on Nov 9. About 150 participants, including members of the association, set out together for a “journey of charity”.

The participants walked along a nearly 3.5-kilometer route, passing by the Suzhou Museum of Contemporary Art, the You’an Street, the lakeside fitness trail and other local attractions before arriving at the pier near Jinji Station 06.

Donations were raised through online and offline channels, including charity sales and corporate and individual contributions.

A bookcrossing campaign was launched concurrently to raise books for needy students in a local school, while a program was started to give gift packages to the elderly at SIP Social Welfare Center.

The money raised through the event, totaling RMB77,382, will be used for public good.
