Preliminary Plans for Charity Drive in August

Dear all Sis n Bro,

As mentioned in my Thread earlier this month, I am startng a charity drive to help under-privilaged children. My aim is to make it a long term event n hopefully become an organisation that help these poor children in getting them back to school.

Though a more Privilage group now, I am sure most of us have been through a certain period of hardship; be it a tough childhood, a depressing period in our teens, a disastrous biz failure or a bad relationship. But I am sure nothing beats a tough childhood, where scarcity of resources make it almost impossible for them to go to school. Even if they get back to school, a lot of these children from under-privilage families hardly have money for canteen breaks or even lunch. With energy depleted n a troubled family, how can these children, with even the best potential to excel, be able to groom into future pillars of our nation.

Therefore, the first event I am organising is to rally for funds to be donated to the ST Pocket Money Funds.

I am very grateful that one of our nation's very distiguished artist, Mr Ling Yang Zhang, is donating pieces of his work to be auctioned for this act of kndness. The event will be held in the month of August, in tendem with our National Day celebration; which make it more meaningful.

Mr Ling Yang Zhang is an accomplished local artist who has done numerous successful exhibitions both locally n abroad. He is currently the HOD of Art in a local school and has his own art Studio to impart his skills to potential artists. He has also done many impressive art pieces for owners of landed/non-landed properties, offices and schools

I am appealing to sis and bros who are free to grace the event and be generous in their donation n bids during the event. It will be held at the old NAFA School premise, tentatively. A reception will be held.

I will be posting further details when more details n plans are finalised.

I am hereby appealing to 10 sis n bro to be part of the organising committee to both help organise and smoothen the process, as well as to help rally the rest of the sis n bro in supporting this event.

Also, I hope the organising committee can be the Provost of my actions and intentions, so as to ensure that I don't take the money to buy a Golden Tap for my office.:OTpolis: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: .

If there are sis or bro doing catering, I appeal to your sponsorship as well. If you have anything to donate as a auction item, pls drop me a PM(but pls don't donate BMW mod-parts like rims or body-kit lah:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ). Any other ideas for sponsorship and/or to make the event a success is much sought-after and appreciated.

If you are interested to be in the organising committee, pls PM me. Tks

If you intend to make a donation by cheques, pls cross and indicate the beneficiary as " Straits Times Pocket Money Funds", and send it to me for consolidation or you can do so at the event. As for cash donation, pls do so only in the presence of officials from Straits Times, in the transparent donation box, at the event.

Please make this Natioanl Day a meaningful and memorable one, n set an example for our children, to show them the beauty and importance of sharing and caring.

Cheers

Received your PM bro, thanks for your support. You are fast :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Re: Preliminary Plans for Charity Drive in August

Bro coolman, Bro Jeremy, Bro Makimaki, Bro TinTin, Sis Blue Ice. Thank you for your prompt, positive and supportive respond.

Yes, I am sure we can achieve our target of helping the under privilage children.

With the sponsorship of acclaimed artist Mr Ling Yong Zhang and other sis n bros, and with possible coverage from the Straits Times(we are donating for the ST Pocket Money Funds), I am sure the charitable spirits of fellow BMW bros will live on and be recognised.

Your donation, participation n presence at the event will speak volume for the importance of caring and sharing with the under privilaged

Cheers
 
Re: Preliminary Plans for Charity Drive in August

Good to see you guys doing your bit for the less privileged.

Something else for you to consider supporting:

Very Special Arts Singapore - Home

Basically Very Special Arts uses the arts to integrate children, youth and people with disabilities into society.

These folk's artwork are sold as art pieces, used in greeting cards, etc. The aim is to help people with disabilities gain financial independence through art, rather than depend on donations and such. These people are trying hard to make something of themselves, instead of waiting for handouts - your support would mean a whole lot to them.

Tks bro,

Point taken.

My intention is for under-privilage children and your proposal definetely fall into this cat. However, with limited resources, we can only do one thing at a time; starting by helping financially chellenged children get back to and get on with schooling. Once we get more funds n awareness, n most importantly thrust (we don't want to be seen as another Durai, Ming Yi or Jochime); we can and definetely will go further from our initial cause.

Tks again for your interest and look forward to your support in whatever area comfortable to you.

Cheers

Tks Bro Hamz,

Will need all the help n support we can get. First event is a charity art auction. Art pieces are donated by one of Singapore highly acclaimed artist, Mr Ling Yang Zhang. Mr Ling has taken part in various art exhibitions both overseas n locally, most recent is the one at National Library n another is the Asian Art exhibition at Suntec City in April.

He will be donating some of his art pieces for auction at NAFA Old School. I will organise the event for sis n bros of the BMW club to attend n donate for the ST Pocket Money Funds.

Will also be talking to Straits Times to do a coverage on the charitable acts of Bimmer Drivers; to show the society that we, the more fortunate group of people are willing and capable of helping the less privilaged children

Will update all sis n bros when all intermediatel preparation is complete.

Stay Tuned

Cheers
