ArtAuctionatWest Grove
PrimarySchool
West GrovePrimary School has been organising art auctions
and various community exhibitions since 2010. We held our
first online auction in 2016 and continued to do so this year.
Artworks from different Primary 1 to 5 classes were selected
for display and auction on our website,
.
com. These art pieces were created during their weekly art
curriculum lessons.
We believe that through theArt Auction, students get to learn
concepts of demand and supply factors determining the art
market. This helps them tomove into the future of art making,
where art is done not just to express oneself, but also tomeet
the needs of the community. A valuable learning point for
our students is the importance of giving back to the society
through their diverse talents; learning to be active agents of
change for a better future for those in need.
We chose CCF as the beneficiary of our fundraising initiative
because we recognise that children are keenest when asked
to help other children, and it is an opportunity to educate
our students on childhood cancer. We managed to raise
$1,459.60 at theendof the auction.

Sellingshirts and
raising funds for CCF
As a business owner, I feel that we
should give back to the society, especially for the
less fortunate, when possible. It is not entirely easy but is a
fulfillingexperience.
My aim is to raise awareness and let more people know about
the livesandchallenges thatchildrenwithcancer faceeveryday.
Sometimeswe takeour lives for grantedanddonot understand
thestruggles that childrenwithcancer have togo through.
The mention of the words Children and Cancer make our
hearts ache. Noonewants to suffer, including children.
I am glad that my customers rejoiced when they found out
that 100%of thegrossproceeds from thesalesofT-shirtwent
into helping beneficiaries of CCF.We have raised $1,300 – it
may not be a significant amount but I hope every bit counts
and will make a difference to the lives of these children and
their families.

FlorenceTan’s20thAnniversaryParty
FLY Entertainment Artiste Florence Tan celebrated her
return to Singapore with a party on 26 August 2017 marking
her 20 years in the industry. Hosted by radio deejay Dennis
Chew, the event was attended by fans, family, friends,
media and sponsors.
Revisiting Florence’s journey and milestones of her personal
life and acting career, she thanked people in the industry
who had supported her in the past 20 years. She also
shared personal pictures of all her past works in various
productions and interacted with guests during stage games
and prize giveaways.
Florence received a surprise video from her family at the
event, and the China post office also gave out 100 copies
of her autobiography titled “Dream China – Florence Tan
Special Edition” that were sold to raise funds for CCF.
A total of $1,300was raised in support of CCF.
“We have planned and anticipated the anniversary event for
almost a year. I was looking forward to raise some funds for
CCF as I have two kids and I love children, therefore I hope
to support more children whenever I can,” said Florence Tan,
FLYEntertainmentArtiste.
