He has broken the record for the highest amount raised by an individual
One of Singapore’s change-makers and our Generation T 2017 honouree, Anthony Tan, has broken another record. Not only is his ride-hailing app one of Southeast Asia’s first unicorn start-ups, but the Grab co-founder has also single-handedly raised S$202,010 (at time of writing) in support of Children's Cancer Foundation's annual outreach campaign, Hair for Hope. That’s a record-breaking sum raised by an individual since the campaign’s inauguration in 2003, and more than double of Anthony’s initial goal of S$80,000.
S$90,000 of the donations came from Masayoshi Son, founder of Japan’s SoftBank Group and Grab investor, while Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi donated S$10,000.
