KUCHING – Kuching Christmas Concert Choir (KuCCC)’s “Angels’ Carols: A Virtual Christmas Concert” garnered 25.3k views when it was streamed on social media December of last year.
The concert raised a total of RM20,000 from custom designed gift card sales as well as generous donations from the public and the amount was channelled to the Home of Peace and Migrant Ministry of the Catholic Archdiocese of Kuching.
“I am happy to be part of a very giving community. I am glad that an event such as this opens an opportunity for me to donate to the fundraising,” commented a member of the public who purchased gift cards in support of the event.
The virtual concert also featured interactive quizzes. This activity was a wonderful opportunity for the event organisers to connect with viewers who were tuning in to the concert from their homes.
“Seeing the support of the members of the public towards this event, we feel humbled and happy. Hopefully, this year, KuCCC will make a return for another concert,” said one of the KuCCC members.
The organisers would like to thank the various teams and individuals who had committed their time and energy in making the event a success. Most of all, the organisers would like to thank all members of the public who had supported the fundraising effort. Everyone’s generosity in all forms have made a difference in the lives of the underprivileged.
“Angels’ Carols: A Virtual Christmas Concert” was organised with the support of the Archdiocesan Commission for Mission and Human Development of the Kuching Catholic Archdiocese Pastoral Council, in collaboration with EMPOWERED Ministry Kuching.
