As part of the Wave of Hope Swimathon (WOHS), a charity swimathon that was first founded in 2012 by the Rotaract Club of National University of Singapore, a total of $29,821.16 was raised for Pathlight School. The event, which advocates active volunteering by students for students, also saw 20 Pathlighters swimming alongside with the other 450 swimmers, who participated in the event on 7 September 2013.

On 26 February 2014, representatives from the WOHS organising committee presented the cheque to the school and also joined the scouts for an afternoon of activities.

All funds raised will go to the school's Poor and Needy fund to help families with financial difficulties with school-related expenses.
