The InterlaceChristmasHolidayEvent
The Christmas event at the Interlace held on 18 December
2015 attracted more than 300 residents and their generous
contributions in time, donations and participation. We decided
ona ‘GivingChristmas’ theme to celebrate the season.
Fashioned after street arcades, the event included food stations
with seasonal specials in the form of turkey bites, beignets and
pumpkin cakes. Fellow residents also donated to awine station
for parents to savour the wine selection. For the children, there
were cookie decorating activities, popcorn stringing, ‘snowball’
throws and Santa’s ring toss! It was heartwarming when a few
of the young participants donated all their takings from the sale
of their home-baked cupcakes in the spirit of charity. The event
raised$1,033.20 for CCF.
We are pleased to have partnered CCF to raise awareness
of childhood cancer among our community. It was rewarding
to see the residents’ involvement and interest towards
somethingmeaningful.

‘8Hearts’Fundraiser
Songwriting is my passion and it has always been
my dream to release a personal album. When
I finally fulfilledmy aspiration and produced ‘8Hearts’,
I decided to donate the proceeds frommy CD sales to
a charity. As amother of two, seeing children and their
caregivers affected by childhood cancer at the hospital
where I used to work made me want to do more for
them. Hence, I chose to fundraise for CCF.
I learnt a lot from this experience and am glad to have
raised $3,000 from my album sales between August
andDecember 2015. I would like to thank the capable
and helpful staff at CCF for rendering their assistance
as well asmy dear family and friends for their support
inmaking this fundraising project possible.
