Together we did it

What a weekend it’s been!!! Am absolutely shattered but oh, it is so worth it.

On Saturday we had our Transformation in Humanity, Opening Hearts & Minds to Addiction Recovery Cocktail Benefit 2012 for WE CARE and it was a huge success. The grey clouds that worried us in the afternoon cleared up just in time, 400-500 guests attended, drinks were flowing, lots of laughter was heard all around, the Guest of Honor Michael Palmer (Speaker of Parliament) held a very good speech. The auction went well even if a bit slow at times. The entertainers did a fantastic job and even managed to get the ones who remained till the end to boogie it down. That created even more laughter.

And, best of all, we managed to raise 250.000 dollars (Singapore ones). A quarter of a million. I still have a hard time believing it. And there are more donations coming it which is just so fantastic.

I am so proud of everyone in the committee, it was hard work but we got there in the end and what matters most is that WE CARE now have more funds to continue their work.

Girls and guys – WE DID IT!!!!!

(as for yesterday, it was spent on the sofa doing absolutely nothing…)

Three more days to our event on Saturday and tonight we are meeting up to do a final run-through of the program. That is always a bit intense. But fun.

Now I just need to find a way to sell the remaining 8 tickets I have…

Transformation in Humanity

Those of you who know me, know that I am member of a fundraising committee for WE CARE, an out patience service center treating addictive diseases in Singapore. Addiction is not something really talked about here – it is getting more press now though since we got the casinos and more people facing gambling addictions – hence there is not much funding to be had for helping those who need it. And there really is a need for it.

So, to help raise funds for the center we are arranging a cocktail on May 26, in a most fantastic Colonial house on Goodwood Hill – if you are in Singapore and interested in buying tickets do let me know! If you can’t come, go have a look at the web auction we are arranging in connection with this, there are some really nice things up for grabs. You can have a look here.
