On 9 May 2026, HUG Community proudly organised Pawpathon 2026 at Mandai Wildlife West, bringing together families, pet lovers, and supporters for a meaningful morning of hope, healing, and second chances. We were deeply honoured to have Minister Chee Hong Tat grace the event, alongside Special Guest MP Elysa Chen as well.
Pawpathon 2026 allowed for the gathering of people from all walks of life coming together in support of HUG’s community programmes, including the HUG Healers Programme, which uses animal-assisted therapy to support desistors and their families, youths-at-risk, students, and seniors. In collaboration with Yellow Ribbon Singapore, the event also served as a reminder that everyone deserves the opportunity for second chances.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our volunteers who dedicated their time and energy to making the event possible. Thank you as well to everyone who came down with their families and pets to support our cause.
We are also incredibly thankful to our sponsors and partners for believing in the mission of Pawpathon 2026 and helping bring this event to life. Thank you to our Title Sponsor, BIT, Gold Sponsor Aw & Sons PTE LTD, Silver Sponsors’ Mr George Goh, Focus Network, ABR Holding, and Arthesdam Jewellery, as well as our Community Sponsors’ Hiap Hoe Limited, Hai Di Lao, Centurion Law LLC, and Nova 5 Aviation Science PTE LTD.
We are equally grateful to Yellow Ribbon Singapore for their support, and to our collaboration partners Breakthrough Mission, Service Dog Training School International, Hwa Chong Institution, Pawsncare, Unpackt, and Ans.Ein for journeying with us in this meaningful initiative. A special thank you as well to Mandai Wildlife Group for being our venue sponsor as well. Lastly, we would like to thank the Yellow Ribbon Band and Breakthrough Mission for their wonderful performances, which brought so much warmth to the event.
To everyone who supported Pawpathon 2026 in one way or another, thank you for walking with us towards a more caring and inclusive community, one pawstep at a time!
