The MILK (Mainly I Love Kids) Charity Dinner is an annual event
to raise funds for disabled, disadvantaged and chronically-ill
children from low-income families. The dinner marks an important
time of the year for us as it is both a fund-raising event as
well as an opportunity for us to thank our supporters and partners.
This year, MILK needs to raise a total of $5.9 million to help
16,000 children.
The MILK Dinner will be held on 18 October 2007 at the
Shangri-La Hotel Singapore Island Ballroom and Prime Minister
Lee Hsien Loong has kindly agreed to be our Guest-of-Honour.
We are also working closely with Sincere Watch Limited who have
undertaken the task of organising a very special dinner event
with the glamour, excitement and panche that they are known for.
This will include a limited edition timepiece to be auctioned
off for MILK.
In keeping with our principles at MILK, 100% of the funds we
raise will go directly to the programmes we support for the disadvantaged
kids, to help us achieve this, The Shangri-la Hotel Singapore
will be sponsoring the dinner that evening.
We look forward to another lovely evening!
MILK Dinner 2006
The year 2006 has been an exciting one for MILK and has seen our
reach growing from 4,000 to 6,000 disadvantaged children. The
dinner marks an important time of the year for us as it is both
a fund-raising event as well as an opportunity for us to thank
our supporters and partners. In 2006, we worked working closely
with Bulgari who organized their first charity jewellery and watch
auction in Singapore and committed their profits from their day
& dinner auction to MILK.
A total of $1,493,070 (the audited financial statement for the
event can be found HERE)
was raised from the Bulgari Charity Auction-MILK Dinner
held on 4 December 2006, by far our most successful Dinner in
terms of funds raised. The dinner was sponsored by Shangri-La
Hotel and President SR Nathan was our Guest-of-Honour for the
evening. In keeping with our principles at MILK, 100% of the funds
we raise will go directly to the programmes we support for the
disadvantaged kids. We thank all our supporters on behalf of the
kids under our care for an enjoyable evening.
