Aon Announces 2020 Round the Island Challenge

SINGAPORE, - 3 February 2020 - Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solutions, has announced the Aon Singapore 2020 Round the Island Challenge event to be held on March 13, 2020.

A team of 31 will embark on an expedition to paddle round the island of Singapore in three outrigger boats, covering 140 km -- with the aim to set a new time record. Aon has partnered with the Singapore Paddle Club, which is supplying boats and coaching the team in the days leading up to the event.

The team attempting the challenge comprises Aon employees and business partners from Asia, namely Allianz, Asia Capital Re, Allied World Assurance Company, AXA XL, Canopius, HDI, Kennedys, Liberty International Insurance, Lloyd's, Swiss Re, TransRe, and Zurich Insurance Company.

Since October, the team has held 35 rigorous practice sessions with another 30 sessions planned− including a 24-hour practice session in February − in the run up to the main event.

The efforts are a part of Aon's attempt to raise $275,000 in total to benefit local (Singapore Children's Society) and international (The Nicholson Memorial Fund of The Atlas Foundation) charities working for abused and underprivileged children in Asia.

Singapore Children's Society protects and nurtures children and youth of all races and religions. Established in 1952, its services have evolved to meet the changing needs of children. Today, Children's Society operates 12 service centres island wide, offering services in four categories: Vulnerable Children and Youth, Children and Youth Services, Family Services, and Research and Advocacy.
