EVENTS
HER Planet Earth organises impactful fundraising and awareness-building events that champion environmental conservation and women’s empowerment.
These events range from high-profile galas and charity auctions to educational seminars and advocacy campaigns. By bringing together leaders, influencers, and passionate individuals, HER Planet Earth aims to generate significant financial support for grassroots initiatives that protect endangered ecosystems and uplift vulnerable communities, particularly women.
Additionally, HER Planet Earth’s advocacy work focuses on creating platforms for dialogue, raising awareness about the intersection of gender and climate issues, and inspiring actionable change on a global scale.
Through these efforts, HER Planet Earth effectively mobilises resources and attention to address the critical challenges facing our planet.
Into the Blue
HER Planet Earth hosted the 'Into the Blue' charity cocktail reception and film screening at Catapult in Singapore on October 24, 2023. The event, attended by 100 senior C-suite professionals and sponsored by LGT, raised $45,000 SGD for the Sulubaaï Environmental Foundation's conservation efforts in the Philippines.
Timed with the International Day of Climate Action, the event aimed to raise awareness and funds for preserving and restoring natural resources in Palawan’s Marine Protected Area. Fred Tardieu, Founder of the Sulubaaï Environmental Foundation, highlighted the power of civil society to drive positive change.
Guests enjoyed LGT's private drinks collection, canapés from Karana, and a short film on a 360° panoramic screen. All proceeds support the Sulubaaï Environmental Foundation's coral restoration programs.
Women in Adventure Film Tour
On April 12, 2018, HER Planet Earth partnered with Mountain Film & She Went Wild to celebrate Women in Adventure with the first Singapore screening of the Women's Adventure Film Tour.
The tour features inspiring short films showcasing extraordinary women in adventure, with a focus on the environment and heartwarming stories selected from the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado. Originally launched to a sold-out crowd in Sydney in May 2017, the Women's Adventure Film Tour made its Singapore debut, celebrating women who are pushing boundaries and embracing adventure.
The Lost World
On April 6, 2019, HER Planet Earth hosted The Lost World, a Vietnamese-themed charity event on the rooftop of Singapore's Indochine Supertree Restaurant. The event celebrated the team’s expedition to Son Doong Cave in Vietnam, the world's largest cave, with stories from their adventure and an auction of limited-edition prints by photographer Sandra Lim.
Extreme sportsman Thaddeus Lawrence also shared his experiences from the journey. The event raised nearly $50,000 SGD for UN Women Vietnam, supporting rural women’s economic empowerment and resilience to climate change in one of the countries most affected by environmental degradation.
Paddle for the Planet
Paddle for the Planet is a global movement that unites paddlers worldwide in support of marine conservation through the Global Paddling Rally. This event features a coordinated relay, with simultaneous paddling events starting on the same day and time across different time zones, creating a continuous global effort. The initiative raises awareness and funds for marine conservation, specifically targeting “Marine Protected Areas” and “no-take zones” to preserve marine biodiversity and sustain our oceans.
Women in Exploration
On March 22, 2018, HER Planet Earth partnered with 100 Women Doing Good to celebrate International Women's Day with the WOMEN IN EXPLORATION event at ParkRoyal on Pickering, Singapore. Sponsored by Brian Gillies of Globaleye Financial Advisory, the event aimed to raise awareness and funds for charities focused on climate action and women’s empowerment.
Beneficiaries included Zero Waste Singapore, the Singapore Committee for UN Women, AWARE Singapore, and the UN’s #WomenLeadClimateAction programme in Cambodia, which educates and empowers underprivileged women in rural areas to build climate resilience.
The event raised over 17,000 SGD, adding to the 15,000 SGD previously raised by HER Planet Earth’s Antarctic expedition team, who chose Antarctica to highlight the urgent environmental challenges facing our planet.
Into Africa
In September 2019, the Africa Society of Singapore and HER Planet Earth teamed up to raise over S$130,000 for wildlife conservation and female empowerment in North Kenya. Funds were raised through a 200-person charity ball at the Grand Hyatt Singapore and an upcoming all-female expedition to trek 100km across Northern Kenya's Karisia Hills in October.
The expedition, guided by local experts, will navigate challenging terrain and varied altitudes. All proceeds will support Conservation International's projects in North Kenya, including the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, eco-tourism expansion, and a mobile anti-poaching team.
