TwestivalSG 2010 A Blast: Top 10 In Total Funds Raised

twestivalsg_logoTwestivalSG 2010 has ended successfully yesterday on a high, and what can we say? We had great beer, food, gifts, prizes, events and a cool online community of people who came together offline to support a very meaningful cause.

The turnout was so amazing, we hardly had enough space to fit everyone!

I’ll let the pictures do the talking. Don’t miss how well Singapore did this year at the end of the post too (:

Singapore, top 10 nations in total funds raised and top 3 in amount raised per 1000 inhabitants

Thanks to everyone who participated, in ways big and small, we are proud to say that TwestivalSG 2010 raised USD 6112.41, excluding all the other sponsorship figures for Concern Worldwide. With the help of cities all over the world, Twestival Global raised more than USD 300,000 this year!

Of course, charity doesn’t end here and it takes more than one day of effort to provide resources to the needy worldwide. No matter who you are benefiting, please continue to spread the word, volunteer your services and donate resources!

We will see you next year, or sooner! (:

    Hi Sarah, great roundup of the event last night!

    Let's also give our venue sponsor, Brewerkz, a really big round of virtual applause for supporting this event and contributing 10% of proceeds that night to Concern Worldwide.

    Well done everyone. =)
