Ralph Lauren helps out

Top polo player and fragrance model visits the RDA

READ MORE >

World-renowned polo player and the face of Polo Ralph Lauren Fragrances,
Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras, made his maiden voyage to Singapore to present a $10,000 cheque to the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) on behalf of Ralph Lauren Fragrances.

Argentinean born Figueras, nicknamed “Nacho”, was honoured with the opportunity to share his passion for riding during his visit, as well as do his bit for charity.

In addition to the donation, the polo player conducted a riding clinic for four skilled RDA riders; Max Tan, Gemma Foo, Marcus Lau and Wesley Tan.

Figueras said that riding instils confidence in disabled children and gives them more courage to face the world. According to the RDA, it also aids in blood circulation and improves sense of balance, thus playing a vital role in supplementing other treatments.

The Riding for the Disabled Association is the only organisation in Singapore to offer therapeutic riding lessons for the disabled. All maintenance and operation fees are raised via charity drives and donations.

As Good As Gold

Chocoholics and socialites united to welcome the MAGNUM US$4.3mm global campaign to Singapore.

READ MORE >

Last week brought the official launch of the new MAGNUM Gold?! ice-cream in Singapore. Though the scrumptious Madagascan vanilla, sea-salt caramel, and golden milk chocolate treat has been available in local stores for weeks, the heist-themed campaign party brought a new level of style and clout to this dangerously delicious dessert.

Set at the glamorous Waterboat House opposite Fullerton Hotel, the US$4.3-million global campaign arrived at our doorstep with glittering ice-cream, golden passports, and a mug shot photo shoot with superimposed actors Benicio Del Toro and Caroline de Souza Correa.

The evening was led by gorgeous TV personality, Sonia Couling, and climaxed when guests were asked to break into the gigantic, frozen, gold safe ominously placed on centre stage. Fellow chocoholics cheered lucky winner, expat photographer Suasti Lye, as she broke the secret code and claimed her coveted year’s supply of MAGNUM Gold?!.

RDA Ball 2010

Taking a Wok on the Wild Side to help the disabled.

READ MORE >

On 15 May, Riding for the Disabled Singapore (RDA) hosted their annual ball to raise funds and show appreciation for their many volunteers, donors and sponsors. This year, event organizer and General Manager, Samantha Taylor, transformed their very own riding arena into a gorgeous Asian soiree, asking guests to Take a Wok on the Wild Side, with a funky Asian theme.

Adorned in saris, sarongs, cheongsams, and batik, everyone danced the night away, and also purchased the night away with both live and silent auctions. All of the proceeds went to benefit the RDA, giving the organization sufficient funds to sustain another year of much-needed therapy for the disabled.

An impressive highlight of the night was Resorts World Sentosa’s Voyage de la Vie, starring the astonishingly acrobatic Michelle Wuthrich. Everyone watched in amazement as this gorgeous gymnast balanced and swung high above, all the while juggling sparkling hoops and weighted batons.

The RDA would like to give a special thanks to Terry and Janice O’Connor for their heartfelt generosity and support, as well as their many vital volunteers and continued contributors throughout the year.
