Sweet Charity: Desserts for a cause

By HungryGoWhere July 11, 2021

A gala event on 27th September at White Rabbit kicks off ‘Sweet Charity Month’ (1-31 Oct), an initiative that has 29 restaurants participating to donate and raise funds for a charity organisation.

The goal is to raise $100,000, and funds will be raised for the NUH Kids’ Heart Fund, an organisation dedicated to providing medical support to children with congenital heart disease. It also subsidises heart surgery costs for financially needy children.

Funds will be raised through the sale of tickets and desserts. Tickets for the Sweet Charity Gala event are priced at $150 per person. Each guest will be served a dessert from each participating restaurant, a glass of Nicola Feuillatte Champagne and mineral water.

Outside of the gala event, $5 from each designated signature dessert ordered at the participating restaurant and 30 per cent of selected whole desserts purchased for takeaway between 1st to 31 October will go directly to the NUH Kids’ Heart Fund.

This is the second year Sweet Charity has been held.
