As the theme of the night was philanthropy, keynote speaker Stefanie Yuen Thio took to the stage to share her journey on giving. DBS Insignia Visa Infinite Card also partnered The Community Foundation of Singapore, and all proceeds raised that night through a silent auction and raffle draw went to Willing Hearts, Mercy Relief, Lions Befrienders and billionBricks. Sponsors Gaggenau, The Macallan, WingsOverAsia, Laguna National Golf & Country Club and The Shanti Residences generously contributed to the silent auction experiences.

The Peak is proud to be the official media partner for this spectacular evening.
