SINGAPORE: The TrueHearts charity show is back after a four-year hiatus.
Through the event, the Community Chest raised $3,303,035 for needy Singaporeans.
Billed as a fundraiser with a difference, the show featured performances by 20 special needs individuals who are getting help from the Community Chest.
They were supported by MediaCorp artistes and foreign stars such as Jeanette Aw, Dai Yangtian and Tang Lan Hua.
To make a S$5, S$15 or S$35 donation, members of the public can call 1900-112-8805, 1900-112-8815 or 1900-112-8835, respectively.
Donation phone lines will remain open for a week. There will also be an art exhibition at Toa Payoh Hub.
As of 10pm, the show received some 130,000 donation phone calls.
Mr Edmund Tie, Chairman of the TrueHearts Show Organising Committee, said: "Community Chest is grateful for the staunch support given by all viewers, sponsors and benefactors, despite the current economic situation. And we are thankful to MediaCorp and the artistes, as well as beneficiaries, who have trained very hard for the show." - CNA/so/de
