PayPal served as presenting sponsor of the Jurong Lake Run in Singapore on July 10 in an effort to establish closer ties with the local community. The event allowed PayPal to draw attention to the company\'s faster, safer online payment methods and highlight the convenience, cost-savings and wider variety of products available through online shopping.

The sponsorship gave PayPal a huge amount of visibility on the day of the race - PayPal logos appeared frequently in and around the event venue and the company\'s promotional tent remained popular with participants eager to take photos on the winners\' podium. Over 102 ambassadors from the PayPal family participated in the two races, a 10km and 5km fun walk.

Judy Chang, Director of Government Relations for APAC, also attended the event as a PayPal representative and had the chance to network with the Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore, Tharman Shanmugaratnam, and other representatives from national and international corporations.
