"As Singapore's first law firm, whose history is closely shared with the nation, Dentons Rodyk is taking this opportunity, as we celebrate our 160th anniversary, to give back to the community by assisting to raise funds for the SAWL Scholarship Fund" said Gerald Singham, the global vice-chair and Asean CEO of Dentons Rodyk.
Dentons Rodyk organised a month-long virtual run in March as part of its 160th anniversary celebrations in 2021. Running for a cause? In support of the SAWL Scholarship Fund for physically and mentally disabled students in Singapore, Dentons Rodyk strived to raise at least S$160,000 through donations, with money going towards the SAWL Scholarship Fund.

SAWL Scholarship Fund seeks to reduce social disparities brought on by educational imbalance and (the lack of) access to education. Registered as a Charity with the Commissioner of Charities and holding Institute of Public Character (IPC) status, the Fund aims to further educational interest amongst those in need or with disabilities. As at December 2018, the Fund has benefitted over 800 applicants. Established in 1987, the success of the Fund is testament to the pioneering spirit of SAWL founder members and the efforts of their successors. Not resting on our laurels, SAWL seeks to do better and continue on with the efforts to build a more inclusive society by supporting even more individuals, no matter their starting point.
