Charity with Gloria Jean's

Hi Huneybees,

In my previous post for Gloria Jean's, I mentioned that there was a charity on their opening day and I was down to support the event. Nothing is better than doing charity. I've been attending events after events, but nothing made me feel as happy as this one. I was excited I could do my bit for charity and was more happy to hear that the funds raised that day was over $7000! Big thank you to all of you who was at the event that day ~

Check out the crowd that day!

Cappuccino for a Cause was supported by these celebrities:

Adrian Pang (Fly Entertainment Artiste), Dawn Ho (Jazz Singer), Linda Black (HBO TV Host), Jo Soh (Fashion Designer), Steven Chia (ChannelNewsAsia Presenter), Cale Chew (Artiste), Nicole Chen (Celebrity DJ), Nic Wong (Fashion Designer)

The host was Linda Black and she introduced the different celebrities and the items they have put up for the silent auction.

I placed bidded for Dawn Ho's album and Jo Soh's paintings. Hmmm, but maybe it was a tad too low? Well, at least I try right?

Busy Gloria Jean's and Celebrity Baristas at work...

Irene was there that day, love her tri-colour hair too!

After enjoying my cup of coffee, I went around snapping photos- photos with celebrities and also of them busy at work. Loved how the celebrities brought their friends and loved ones down to do their bit too. Adrian Pang even had his kids to help out and Oli Pettigrew dropped by to see his wife, Linda Black.

I loved Dawn Ho's voice, enjoyed the songs that she sang, even this little girl was attracted to her and she sat there quietly next to her mum to listen to the beautiful music...

Check out the celebrities' creativity!

Charity does not stop once the event is over. If you would like to do a part for charity, feel free to visit Grace Haven's Singapore Facebook Page and Gloria Jean's Singapore Facebook Page.

Cappuccino for a Cause with Gloria Jean's

Hi Huneybees,

Are you guys free on 29th October? Saturday afternoon... What plans do you have in mind? How about a cup of coffee with Gloria Jean's? 

To celebrate the grand opening of its newest outlet at Plaza Singapura, Gloria Jeans’ Coffees will hold a grand opening charity fund raiser on 29th October 2011 from 12 pm to 7 pm. Everyone is invited to come enjoy live music while mingling with dignitaries and local celebrities. 

What?! Why celebs? Because Gloria Jean's has organized Cappuccino for a Cause and pledged to raise money for the welfare group, Grace Haven. Public is welcome to support the event through purchases at the new outlet.

Grace Haven is a residential home that cares for 160 young persons currently. Dedicated staff and counselors seek to encourage each young person to reach their potential and discover their strengths and talents. The ultimate goal is to help the young person to get back on the right track and return home to his/her family.

All proceeds on the grand opening day will be donated to the Grace Haven Home. Each cup of Cappuccino served by the celebrity baristas will be going for $10. There will be a silent auction at the end of the event with memorabilia donated by celebrities such as a limited edition Hansel Tee Shirt, autographed copy of Gone Case by local writer Dave Chua and artworks by Cale Chew.

Celebrity Baristas

Local personalities such as Adrian Pang, Nat Ho, Jo Soh, Linda Black, Cale Chew, Rebecca Tan, Nicole Chen and Steven Chia have kindly set aside their time for the event to make their very own latte art for the guests. The highlight of the event is the live performance by guest jazz crooner Dawn Ho, who will dazzle the crowd with her sultry rendition of a number of tunes.

Details for the event are as follows:

Date: 29 October 2011

Time: 12.00pm to 3.00pm
