2023 Community Chest 40th Charity TV Show

Community Chest Celebrates 40 Years: A Night of Unity, Resilience, and Triumph Await!

Singapore, 24th September 2023 – A beacon of solidarity and support, Community Chest commemorates four prolific decades with "Uniting Hearts 2023", a charity TV show that not only celebrates the past but also sparks the future. On the 24th of September, The Theatre at Mediacorp transformed into a stage for unity, as the event aired on Channel 8, stitching together the fabric of our society with every act and donation.

The night resonated with the spirit of community as over 1,200 guests, including President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and his spouse Jane Ittogi, joined a constellation of hosts and performers. The luminous presence of Gao Mei Gui, Guo Liang, Kym Ng, and Dennis Chew, accompanied by the musical genius of The Winners and Ricky Hsiao, underscored the evening with harmony and hope.

In a display of pure synergy, athletes from the Wheelchair Basketball Association and artists Jeffrey Xu and Chase Tan collaborated in a mesmerizing basketball choreography, a testament to the two-month diligent preparation by the WBA and Mediacorp. The act transcended sport, symbolizing the intersection of artistry and the indomitable human spirit.

Highlighting the event was President Tharman's engaging cameo during the basketball segment. With an effortless pass to Chase Tan, he sparked a wave of applause, reinforcing the night's theme of collective effort and inclusivity.

The event's crescendo was the phenomenal sum of S$16,715,758 raised, a milestone that will empower over 200 crucial social service initiatives. These funds will champion the cause for children with special needs, at-risk youth, adults with disabilities, individuals facing mental health challenges, and support for families and seniors in need.

"Uniting Hearts 2023" is more than a celebration; it's a clarion call to action. As the evening’s theme shone brightly, the message was clear – every person, every gesture, counts. Your engagement through likes, shares, and follows extends the narrative of unity and compassion.
