How to Help?

Club Rainbow helps the less fortunate children with illnesses, which is a thoroughly meaningful cause as children are one of the most vulnerable in society and also the segment in our society with bright futures and untapped potential. All they need is a little help from our hearts!

All public donations we receive will go directly to them and we will be thoroughly transparent and accountable by acknowledging donors on our Fund-o-meter (unless you wish to remain anonymous)!





We hope to symbolically raise at least S$250 000, which is 50 dollars for each of the harsh nautical mile we will be sailing. We are sailing a total of 10, 000 miles, 5000 nautical miles each (trans-pacific from Qingdao, China to California, USA), of braving -20 degrees celsius chills, 20 foot waves, 3 to 4 hours of shift work and broken sleep for 5 weeks (!!!). It definitely doesn't rank below doing tiring night calls as house officers!

Yes, we will do the symbolic hard work; all you have to do is identify with ours and Club Rainbow Singapore's cause and donate!

The donations are very important, especially in the current economic climate, where it will really go a long way for Club Rainbow. A more official website done with Club Rainbow will be coming up later as well, where you may easily donate via online bank transfer. Meanwhile,

To donate, you may choose one of the several methods:

1. Mail a cheque to

Name:KOK YEE ONN

Address: BLK 620 YISHUN RING ROAD, #07-3206, S760620

At the back, please write sailforsmiles-club rainbow

2. Bank Transfer

to my bank account no. 109-49595-6 (POSB) (Kok Yee Onn)

Please email me at kokyeeonn@gmail.com to let me know who donated so that we may acknowledge you.

3. Online Credit card (Paypal)

You may donate by credit card to our secured and reliable Paypal account as well below. (You will need a Paypal account to do that. It is free to sign up for a Paypal account!)







We will collect and collate the money before finally handing it over to Club Rainbow. As a principle of transparency and accountability, we will feature names of donors on our Fund-o-meter so that you know your donation has been acknowledged (and not embezzled!). If you wish to remain anonymous, we will still state your amount but signed off with "anonymous".

If you think it is a good idea for us to go to your workplace or school to canvas for donations and pass donation boxes around, please contact us at kokyeeonn@gmail.com or megabyte_sg@hotmail.com!

If you wish for part of your sum to go towards our historical sailing endeavour as well, please just drop a message or note it down in the mail. We will acknowledge you if you wish on our sponsor banner, on our home page. That is where we also acknowledge our corporate sponsors who have made this costly endeavour possible (Thank you sponsors!)!

If you think you or your organisation is interested to work with us regarding funding our sailing or in raising more for charity, please contact us at kokyeeonn@gmail.com or megabyte_sg@hotmail.com also!

Thank you!

Yours sincerely,

Jiang Lei and Yee Onn

P.S: a big THANK YOU to our current sponsors, supporters and donors so far! You have really made our day as well as the Club Rainbow childrens' day!
