The 1st YCIS Shanghai Charity Night

The Yew Chung International School of Shanghai (YCIS) recently organised their first Charity Gala Dinner, held at The Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai Pudong, enlisting the support of Riviera Events. The night was designed to raise money for the Shanghai Education Development Foundation, to support the YCIS Scholarship Program.

A silent auction was held within the foyer and a live auction in the main ballroom led by seasoned auctioneer Alan Ling. In total, around 400 parents and friends of YCIS excitedly held their paddles at the ready to bid on over 70 items, eventually raising a whopping RMB 3.5 million.

Guests were treated to performances by both students and professional musicians and artists who were welcomed from Jazz at the Lincoln Center, the Puccini Opera House, the Royal College of Music and iStage Academy.

Other highlights of the evening included a fantastic cocktail reception and a swing dance lesson. Our Shanghai team provided partial setup and production of the event, as well as cue and stage management. Our in-house creative team curated three backdrop designs based on the clients’ key visual design, and we assisted with the logistics for a seamless auction process. A wonderful evening for a truly great cause.
