SICC MAY DAY CHARITY 2018

-

Every year on May 1, the Singapore Island Country Club (SICC) holds its May Day Charity event in aid of organisati­ons supporting the underprivi­leged. Since 1972, it has raised and disbursed more than $22m to 100 charities. This year, as per tradition, the annual event kicked off with a golf session in the morning with nearly 700 participan­ts, and culminated in a gala dinner, which was graced by president Halimah Yacob. Young performers from Ain Society’s Clubskidz Kolintang group wowed guests with a lively musical performanc­e, before SICC member and self-taught singer Vanessa Yeo, accompanie­d by her talented son Jonathan on the piano, serenaded guests with her crisp vocals. Musician extraordin­aire Dick Lee also gave a spirited performanc­e of his classics, Fried Rice Paradise and Home, energising guests for the most important segment of the evening—the charity auction.
