INTRODUCTION
After a one-year hiatus, Heartware Network’s annual flagship event, Celebration Tree, is
back for its 7th run, moving back to its inception ground - Orchard Road. For the entire
month of December 2007, it will take centre stage at the Atrium @ Orchard.
Heartware Network is a 7-year old charitable youth organization with a core focus in
developing youth into Youth Champions for the community. We engage our youths to
be proactive in service with heart by equipping them with the skills and social ‘heartware’
(i.e. character values) to take on active roles in inspiring others to make a difference.
OBJECTIVES
1. To go beyond the festive celebrations by reaching out to the public and promoting
volunteerism as a lifestyle rather than just acts of kindness.
2. Promote volunteerism amongst youths via Youth Bank (to benefit the community and
47 partnering NPOs).
3. To affirm the community spirit of "many helping hands,"
4. To gather the public with the people and private sectors to work together towards
one common community goal by contributing skills, funds and time.
EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
With an expected crowd of over 200,000, this month-long event will feature several
exciting and highly engaging attractions. Most importantly, it will share the spirit of
Giving from the Heart, not only in monetary terms, but in contribution of time through
volunteering. The highlights include:
1. A 21-m tall Celebration Christmas Tree
2. Stage performances by schools and organizations
3. Countdown parties on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve
4. SuperIce skating rink
5. Online sign up and pledging of volunteering hours for Youth Bank
