About the Crown’s Golden Relay

Like an Olympic torch, lighting up the lives of children in every country, Crown offices are to pass between them the spirit of gen­erosity as they begin a year-long fundraising relay.

The golden relay will progress from city to city in the order that Crown offices were opened. Teams at each location can then take part in a month of fundraising activities in support of any local children’s health or education charity.

The golden relay begins in January 2015 with the first three offices opened by Crown in the 1960s, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
