Hope 50 – Together As One Concert

Capping off the SCS 50th Anniversary celebrations was Hope 50 – Together As One, a concert to send the message that no one needs to fight cancer alone. Held at The Star Theatre of The Star Performing Arts Centre on 16 January, the concert saw the single largest gathering of the cancer community comprising 5,000 SCS benefi ciaries, survivors, family members and caregivers.  

Guest of Honour, Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, emphasised that family and community support is crucial in the fight against cancer. The Prime Minister, who himself is a cancer survivor, also announced the new one-stop SCS Rehabilitation Centre, which will provide community based holistic care to patients, and the SCS Cancer Care Fund to help ease some of the financial worries of newly diagnosed lower-income patients.
