Life in Full Bloom

Life in Full Bloom

Passion Ball, Food from the Heart’s annual fundraising gala, was held on Friday, April 25, at The EDITION Singapore. Over 300 distinguished guests joined us in a celebration of Life in Full Bloom.

This year's theme embodies vitality, vibrancy, and sustainabilityqualities that perfectly reflect Food from the Heart!

 

Food from the Heart's Board

 

The spectacular evening brought our community together in full splendour, sponsors, donors, friends and volunteers, united by a shared purpose. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to returning Presenting Sponsor and Angel Donors, as well as Friend Donors and Lead Media Partner:

Electrifying performance by Veronica Barboza, who is well-known across Latin America and Asia for her bold vocals

 

Live Auction

A key highlight of Passion Ball has always been the live auction segment. This year was no different–our heartfelt thanks to generous contributions for a spectacular line-up of 13 auction items:

 

Auction item #8 comprised of the coveted, limited edition The Macallan Distil Your World Mexico Edition (above) and an exclusive The Macallan Estate Experience

 


Celebratory cheers were in order for all winning bidders who open their hearts for a good cause

 

Immersed in the evening's full brillance, guests contributed generously to show their support and belief in our cause. Passion Ball raised nearly $1.7 million, a new record for our flagship fundraiser, which will go towards supporting our food distribution programmes and operations. 

Notably, the School Goodie Bag pledge raised $250,000 to ensure that underprivileged children has consistent access to nutritious food, giving them brighter moments and a more promising future.

 

But but not least, we are grateful towards these In-Kind Donors who contributed towards the evening's success
