Passion Ball 2009 – Book of Dreams

February 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

 

 

Dear Friends,

 

We, at Passion Ball invite you to celebrate and become inspired in 2009. This year’s Passion Ball will be based on a daring and imaginative theme: the ‘Book of Dreams’, a concept inspired by Italian auteur Frederico Fellini’s films and fantasies. The 2009 Passion Ball will display this lavish theme by turning the room into a wonderland of surrealism and creativity. To satisfy our collective passions and the cause of the Passion Ball 2009, we implore you to come embrace and create this energy with us.

 

Come dressed simply in your best, and expect an evening of glamour, indulgence and great entertainment amongst convivial friends.  Dine on the fine cuisine passionately prepared by Capella Singapore’s team of exceptional chefs. Indulge in the night’s extravagant fashion feature, and be amazed by an internationally renowned entertainment act before dancing the night away. Relax over cigars and after dinner drinks alongside a tempting dessert buffet. Indeed, enjoy the finest of passions throughout the evening. The night promises all the magic and delight that you have come to expect from Passion Ball.

 

Passion Ball 2009 will be held at the brand new Capella Singapore on Saturday, April 11 at 7pm. The significance of this year’s location, the Capella Singapore on Sentosa ensures that the charity gala dinner will be comparable to none. Passion Ball 2009 will be the first premier event to be held at this ultra-luxury hotel.   Capella Singapore offers an inspiring natural setting. Residing on 30 acres of lush rainforest, the hotel’s peaceful setting on a knoll features a masterfully restored colonial building forming a centrepiece to modern architectural elements and sculpture gardens rich with contemporary art working together to charm and inspires all attendees.

 

All the proceeds to the Passion Ball will go towards a similarly forward-thinking charity: Food from the Heart – a registered non-profit organisation established in 2003 to alleviate hunger and suffering in Singapore.  From its humble beginnings of delivering unsold bread and bakery items to welfare homes, Food from the Heart now runs five programmes all designed to help less fortuned Singaporeans.  In total, Food from the heart reaches out to over 11000 individuals and 160 welfare homes and schools.

 

So, for the sake of our dream, our inspirations, and a charitable cause close to our hearts, come share a creative and compassionate evening, all the while making a difference in Singapore.  Help us help others in need!
