Gloria Ting, FLYfm deejays Fly Guy and Adam
Carruthers as well as Zouk Club deejays
Goldfish and Blink in a public service announcement to raise awareness of the Centre.
I really wanted to help the children in any
way I could, especially after meeting them for
the first time, Chia said. When I met them, I
was taken aback by their innocence and I felt
really connected to them.
The night ended with a celebrity T-shirt auction The celebrities and students from the
Society had collaborated to design T-shirts
sponsored by Radioactive, and most of the
celebrities were on hand to help auction the Tshirts off.
In her speech thanking the organisers and
sponsors, SCSOA president Christine Wong said,
On behalf of the children, I would like to thank
the organisers, celebrities and sponsors for their
efforts in helping our cause.
And for Effa, the night was indeed a success.
I was thrilled that we executed it so well
despite the lack of time and manpower and I'm
happy that people had a good time - that was
important, she said. I'm also happy that we
could do something to help the charity centre.
All funds collected from the ticket sales and
auction will go towards SCSOA's fund to move
to new premises that will be able to accommodate the more than 40 children who currently
spend time at the centre. For information on the
