Lifting Half The Sky Charity Gala

ECF Gala

 

On the 8th of March 2023, the EtonHouse Community Fund (ECF), an IPC Charity, hosted a charity gala celebrating International Women’s Day. Over 800 guests attended the event, and we raised $1.2 million through donations, book sales, live and silent auctions and a raffle draw. 

 

ECF Gala

 

 

We launched the book Lifting Half The Sky and the Book Monsters podcast during the gala. The book celebrates the accomplishments of top women entrepreneurs in Singapore. It is a compilation of 10 powerful stories of these extraordinary women and their journeys wearing multiple hats; fearless, inclusive, tireless, dedicated and tenacious women whose life stories inspire us. They also shared their experiences on stage with our audience.

 

 

 

Besides the publication, ECF, Kiss92 and Singapore Women’s Weekly launched The Book Monster podcast. Inspired by the Joyful Learning programme by ECF that nurtures a love for reading and stories amongst vulnerable children, this initiative hopes to inculcate storytelling as a meaningful experience for families to bond and connect with books. Download the SPH Awedio app for more storytelling tips.

 

 

We would like to express our gratitude to donors, sponsors, the thirteen extraordinary women featured in the book, volunteers, the organizing committee, EtonHouse staff and families, friends, and partners for their generosity and invaluable contributions to our successful event. We also extend our appreciation to Nutgraf and Kiss92 for their support in the launch of the Lifting Half The Sky book and Book Monsters podcast.

 

 

All proceeds from the book and the gala will be donated to ECF to run its various programmes to help and support children and youth of disadvantaged backgrounds through education.

“Indy’s Dairy” tells the story of 6-year-old with a rare genetic disorder

Indy's Dairy - an inspiring children's book on resilience

Indy’s Diary journals the first six years of an undeterred young girl, India “Indy” Rose Eaton who has endured many surgeries to correct her leg bone which was affected by a genetic disorder - Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1).

 

First published by EtonHouse Community Fund (ECF) in 2021 as an e-book, it was later printed as a physical book and has since been featured in The Straits Times here.

 

Says author Josephyne Ho who worked with Indy to create this book, "I wanted to lend Indy a voice to tell her story to the world about her diagnosis, her life experiences and her struggles. Most importantly,  I wanted to show the world how brave and resilient Indy is in embracing life as she knows it. To me, Indy is the true epitome of the proverbial phrase - If life gives you lemons, you make lemonade."

 

Over the years, ECF has published several children’s books to help children understand and reflect on complex issues. One of these books includes Tourette Syndrome and Me, a book with Zachary Pattinson, a boy who was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. The book was written to help him reconcile with his condition (tics) and his emotional struggles in coping with the (perceived) reactions of his current and future friends.
