October means pink takes over the city once again. The Pink Ribbon Walk 2025 is back, rallying Singaporeans to step out in strength and solidarity for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Happening on Saturday, 11 October at OCBC Square, Kallang, this year’s edition carries the theme “Stronger Together with Every Step”, a reminder that every stride makes a difference in the fight against breast cancer.
The evening is designed as a full-on community festival with heart. Participants can pick between 3KM and 5KM scenic routes, winding past Singapore’s most iconic landmarks, before returning to a carnival-style line-up of entertainment. Expect live performances, glow-in-the-dark face painting, henna art, bra pong (yes, you read that right), and photo booths, plus a goodie bag stacked with treats. Best-dressed competitions are also on the cards, so whether you’re turning up in pink sequins, tutus, or coordinated squad outfits, don’t be shy.
Beyond the fun, the event champions a serious cause. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Singapore, accounting for nearly 30% of diagnoses, and early detection through self-checks and timely mammograms can be life-saving. By lacing up for the walk, you’ll be helping to raise both awareness and support for those on their breast cancer journey.
Registration is open until 10 September 2025, with tickets from $25–$40, and special rates for BCF members, PAssion Card holders, and groups of four. Presented by Income Insurance and backed by PAssion Card, this year’s walk promises an inspiring evening of purpose, unity, and community spirit.
