On 30 August, Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) successfully hosted its second annual Charity Dinner at Orchard Hotel Singapore, raising a remarkable $500,000 in support of Community Chest.

This year’s retro-themed event took guests on a journey through time, offering a fun and nostalgic atmosphere. The dinner saw a 30% increase in attendees and funds raised compared to last year, reflecting the growing support and enthusiasm for this meaningful cause.

The evening was filled with entertainment, starting with lively tunes from the Summertimes Big Band, which set the perfect mood for the retro-themed event. One of the highlights of the night was a heartfelt performance by Ms Claire Teo, a visually impaired vocalist from ART:DIS, an organisation that benefits from Community Chest’s initiatives.

MHR’s fundraising efforts since the start of 2024, including hosting Sharity’s Birthday Lunch at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel and the funds raised during the Charity Dinner, contributed to the S$500,000 donation to Community Chest. Together, these efforts have made a significant impact, enabling continued support for Community Chest’s various programmes that uplift those in need.

Affirming MHR’s commitment in giving back to the community, this year’s Charity Dinner stands out as a shining example of how collaboration between businesses, individuals, and communities can create positive change. The event’s success and increased participation highlight the power of unity and compassion in building a more inclusive society.
