DMR Productions & Comedy Masala present A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL COMEDY SHOW FEATURING PAUL WILBAUM (CANADA) An exclusive TWO NIGHTS ONLY International Comedy Show in aid of THE BUSINESS TIMES BUDDING ARTISTS FUND.

Leading global bank, BNP Paribas, will be donating SGD160,000 over the next two years to The Business Times Budding Artists Fund (BT BAF). This donation will enable more than 100 children from economically disadvantaged families, the opportunity to pursue an arts training at the Little Arts Academy’s (LAA) Children Division.

Some 1, 255 children under the Ministry of Education’s Financial Assistance Scheme will get to celebrate Children's Day with fun and adventure at Universal Studios Singapore®, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). This unique experience has been made possible for them through the generosity of 62 corporate and individual sponsors. So generous were the sponsors that the initial target of entertaining 1,000 children was easily surpassed and now an extra 255 will get to share in the fun at this year’s edition of Children for Children.

Koh Zi Ning, 11, a Primary 5 pupil from CHIJ (Kellock), has been a part of the annual Children for Children outing and fundraising event since 2009. She has taken on the role of an adorable bunny at the Singapore Zoo (2009), an adventurer at the Underwater World Singapore (2010), and a mystical Kung Fu Chao at Resorts World Sentosa (2011). This year, she co-chaired the press conference on Children for Children 2012 @ Resorts World Sentosa, which will be held on October 4, 2012 – the eve of Children’s Day.

Some 1,300 children from economically disadvantaged families will get to spend the eve of Children’s Day at Universal Studios Singapore® in Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), in this year’s presentation of Children for Children. The annual children’s charity event will also help to raise $300,000 for The Business Times Budding Artists Fund (BTBAF) and The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund (SPMF).
