As we embrace the spirit of giving during the festive season, NHCS staff rallied together to raise funds for our needy heart patients during the 2-month NHCS Staff Giving Festival & Challenge which started in December 2021. To bring joy and cheers to staff while supporting the good cause, two “fun” (pun intended – fund) raising activities were rolled out – “Sing for Needy Patients” and “New Year New Hope”.
“Sing for Needy Patients” activity which took place from 6 to 24 December 2021, saw spontaneous responses from staff who made a minimum donation of $10 to nominate their desired NHCS leaders to sing. Not only did we get to raise monies for our patients, all staff got to enjoy the wonderful voices and melody from nominees who dauntlessly took up the challenge to sing, played their musical instruments, dressed up with props and even included their dearest in duets. Those nominees who were too shy to sing have also generously contributed to Heart To Heart Fund!
Thank you for all the generosity and support from all of you in NHCS.
As we welcome the New Year, our staff continued to bring hope to those who need it most by pledging $2 (and more); giving our needy patients a good start to 2022! More than 170 staff supported our “New Year New Hope” activity which took place from 3 to 24 January 2022.
Rounding up this staff giving festival and challenge, prizes will be given to the Top 3 Most Improved Staff Donation Participation Rate and Top 3 Departments with Highest Percentage of Staff Donors. Look out for the results announcement!
EMBRACING THE SEASON OF GIVING
On the same festive note, the Medical Social Services department have creatively decorated their doors revealing their very own version of “Christmas Wonderland”. They have big-heartedly added an option for staff to contribute towards our needy patients while capturing insta-worthy shots at these photo booths.
SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR MONTHLY STAFF DONORS
During this Season of Giving, we extended our thanks with little appreciation gestures to our colleagues who have been pledging monthly to NHCS Heart To Heart Fund towards our causes – providing financial assistance to our needy patients, and supporting research and essential education efforts in NHCS so that we can advance and build the future of cardiac care. Items in the gift bag were sponsored by our partners – HEART by Kopitiam, SingHealth Pharmacare and Starbucks.
With the unwavering support from staff, we are able to come together as
One Heart for Needy Patients to deliver the best care to our patients –
more than $11,000 was raised from this campaign!
Thank you for being so wonderfully supportive.
