On 28th November, we returned to the main box of BBSGB to launch the project. It's meaningful because we have not been launching the project at the main box for a few years. Returning to the main box at our 21st year symbolised a coming-of-age thingie.
Despite the current financial turmoil, BBSGB is determined to fulfil the Christmas wishes of more than 28,000 beneficiaries. The project unveiled the main box and begins its call out to the public to donate food & household items.
Guest-of-Honour President SR Nathan, who is also the patron of the Boys' Brigade Singapore, unveiled the Main Box with three BBSGB ambassadors - Beatrice Chia-Richmond, Yip Pin Xiu (Team Singapore Paralympian, Beijing Paralympic Gold Medallist - 50m Backstorke) and Mok Ying Ren (Team Singapore Triathlon Athlete, SEA Games 2007 Gold Medallist).
Appealing to the public not to hold back even in these bad times, President SR Nathan and the ambassadors call for Singaporeans to come forward and donate charitably.
NTUC FairPrice took the lead of the collection drive by being the first to donate 14 trolleys filled with FairPrice food & household items. Each trolley is represented by a branch manager which indicates the number of outlets the other Sharity Gift Boxes are located at.
Group CEO presented the first trolley to the "boys in blue" who received the items on behalf of the Boys' Brigade. This symbolic act was witnessed by President SR Nathan, which marked the significance of the start of the collection of food & household items from the public.
And of course Orchard Road was invaded by our "boys in blue"...
