November 16th,
2017, Singapore – BIGO LIVE Singapore,
together with their broadcaster Jo Ann Chen, recently teamed up
with Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore (CPAS) and another popular
BIGO LIVE broadcaster Charis Koh, to help raise funds and awareness
on BIGO LIVE platform. They spent an afternoon at the center to
bring joy and laughter to the lovely children at CPAS.
Jo Ann (ID:JoAnnchen) used BIGO Live to
raise “beans” – points awarded according to how many viewers she
can get – through the whole stream day. Her 174,856 beans was
converted into SGD 1123.20 and BIGO LIVE Singapore matched the
funds raised dollar-for–dollar, that went straight to fund therapy
equipment, medical expenses, diapers and food rations, public
education and caregiver support - not counting BIGO Live’s own
donations to the cause!. In total, the funds raised amounted to SGD
2246.20.
BIGO Singapore, broadcasters Jo Ann and
Charis Koh spent an afternoon at the center to learn more about
cerebral palsy and the early intervention and therapies available.
There was an introduction to CPAS, followed by a tour of the
facilities where they had the opportunity to meet wonderful
children like Arianna (who couldn’t take her hands off the BIGO
Dino), and Jerryl (who received a thumb drive he wished for as a
present from our streamers).
Jo Ann and Charis also had the luck to
meet with Wei Lun and Bing Yao, two individuals with cerebral palsy
whose artistic talent is on display at CPAS’ Art Gallery, and their
artwork available for sale. Jo Ann went an extra mile and supported
the cause, spending an additional SGD 500 on artwork from this
fantastic gallery, and found out that Wei Lun is also a BIGO
user!

“It really touches my heart to see everyone together to make it
possible. It means so much to me to see my supporters in the stream
during the charity drive. I can’t list all of you, but I know who
you are, and I hope you can feel my gratitude” said BIGO LIVE
Broadcaster Jo Ann Chen.
“This is an
extremely good cause and the event had been very successful. We
hope that by our little action of sharing this on livestream with
our viewers, we would be able to bring about more awareness for
CPAS. And that many more individuals who are suffering from this
condition would be able to live their life to the fullest and to
live the moments without the public misconception about their
condition. We hope that more people are able to benefit
from our small act of kindness. Thank you CPAS and definitely our
broadcaster Jo Ann for her extra mile of kindness. We are also very
heartened and delighted to see many kind souls on the platform who
had supported this cause, thank you so much.” Ms Cherylene See,
BIGO LIVE Regional Marketing manager.
