Singapore, 7 October 2021 – Singapore’s leading IT solution and service provider, Activate Interactive Pte Ltd, organises its inaugural corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaign, REACT for SOS, between August and September 2021.Through the concerted efforts of all employees, Activate raises a total of $10,895 for SOS, surpassing the target of $10,000 in support of the Samaritans of Singapore (SOS).
As a Platinum Partner of the #HOWRU Virtual Walkathon, signature fundraiser of SOS, 35 staff of Activate, Actxa Pte Ltd and Actxa Wellness Pte Ltd, sister companies of Activate, volunteered to join the Walkathon to stand in solidarity with people in crisis.
Together as one Activate, the 35 volunteers clocked a total of 3,658,298 steps for the Walkathon held between 12 September to 18 September 2021, exceeding their target of three million steps. Activate also emerged as the first among the Team category for the Walkathon.

To raise more funds for SOS, Activate pledges $5 to SOS for every volunteer who hit 10,000 to 12,249 steps a day and $10 for every volunteer who clocks more than 12,250 steps a day for the Challenge. After two weeks of walking in the day and at night, the volunteers raised a total of $3,655 through the Challenge.

Joel Chin, CEO of Activate Interactive and Actxa, said: “Our motto is “Living Technology. Changing Lives.” and we pride ourselves to be a responsible business in Singapore while staying at the forefront of the IT industry.
As advocates for health and wellness, we believe that no one should be left to cope with mental health problems alone. The works of SOS in reaching out to people in despair and raising mental health awareness resonates closely with our belief.
