NON-profit organisation Children’s Aid Society (CAS) raised S$251,329 at its annual charity gala on Friday (Sep 13) to support children and youth who have faced adverse life circumstances, such as abuse and neglect.
Dine for Good 2024 took place at Shangri-La Singapore, with Minister for National Development and Minister-in-Charge of Social Services Integration Desmond Lee as the guest of honour. He is the patron of CAS.
The funds raised will go towards operational expenses, such as staff salaries.
Alvin Goh, executive director of CAS, said the charity provides a “very high-touch service”, with staff providing “round-the-clock” care at Melrose Home, a residential home under CAS for those aged seven to 21.
