[EVENT] BRAND'S Hope In A Bottle at The Star Vista Atrium


This year is BRAND'S® 180th anniversary, and in celebration they have partnered World Vision International and aims to raise S$180,000 and sponsor 180 kids across the region including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan and China in 2015. This regional Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative marks BRAND'S® 180 years of commitment in providing overall wellness and in helping people to unlock their potential for a greater life. 

In Singapore, the funds will be utilized to support 20 underprivileged children through World Vision's Child Sponsorship Program and to finance leadership training for nearly 1000 humanitarian-minded local youths in Singapore through World Vision's 30-hour Famine Programme who advocate for disadvantaged regional children. 


BRAND'S® encourage the public to join in this good cause by initiating a BRAND'S® Hope In A Bottle Campaign. This campaign was later held as an event at The Star Vista last month and I went down during their first day on the 28th August 2015. Over $15,000 in donation was raised with the help of the public who supported the cause to give hope to future generations. 


I had the opportunity to capture the fun moments at the event's photo wall and bring home the instant print.

Here's how BRAND'S® makes a positive difference to the society with their initiatives such as how between 1999 and 2003, over 20,000 prosthetic limbs were produced for the less privileged by recycling used BRAND'S® caps. Very amazing.


Talented artistes from The New Paper's Creative Team designed these 20 Designer Bottles which is going from $50 per piece to raise funds for the cause. All donation proceeds goes to World Vision.


For a $10 donations, visitors had the chance to personalize their very own BRAND'S® bottle label or transform their empty BRAND'S® bottles into a gift, mini terrariums or even snow globes.

One also get to contribute to the campaign by getting the BRAND'S® Coin Slot Caps at $2 from this Coin Slot Cap Dispenser Machine. I didn't get mine when I visited the event on Friday and got Jessie to get one for me when she went down on Sunday. Thank you.


The Coin Slot Caps transform used BRAND'S® bottles into coin banks, which can be filled and donated back to World Vision or kept as a collector's item. 


Each BRAND'S® bottle can store up to 45 $1 coins, the amount to cover the basic needs of one needy child for a month. I didn't have so much $1 coins so mine is a mixture of the coins I've collected.
