Energised at the Appreciation Party of The Purple Parade 2023, we were thrilled to be joined by partners who participated in The Purple Parade 2023.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended. Among us were buddies who have been part of this journey for over 10 years, as well as new friends who have recently joined us.

Reflecting on our first Purple Parade, which took place more than 10 years ago, it's incredible to remember that over 3,000 people showed up despite the rain. That number far exceeded our expectations.

Since that memorable day, we have continuously moved forward, never looking back.

Remarkably, just last year, our largest parade yet brought together over 13,000 people. United, we stood in support of our cause!

Yesterday, I saw many familiar faces – some recent acquaintances and others long-time friends. We have all worked together towards this cause, and for that, I am immensely grateful.

A huge THANK YOU for contributing to the betterment of our country.

Your participation is a reminder to the rest of Singapore of the importance of inclusivity. It highlights the need to care for and pay more attention to our community. Your efforts show that we can make our country not only a place of great economic success but also one with a big heart.

The Purple Parade symbolizes the heart of Singapore too.

A special shoutout to The Purple Parade organising committee, the Central Singapore CDC as well as to Rachel Ong and Yip Pin Xiu!
