George Washington Ball
Living in Singapore wouldn't be complete without attending a fabulous fundraiser and the GWB is one of the oldest in the country! Each year since 1933, we put on our glad rags and dance the night away! Join us at the premier black-tie social event of the season. More than 380 members and guests come together to share an evening of food, drink, music, philanthropy, and FUN! Enjoy the live band, auctions and lucky draws. It's always a night to remember with new themes every year.
Join us for what is undoubtedly the highlight of the American Association of Singapore's social calendar, the George Washington Ball. That's right! Our annual bash is back bigger and better than ever with all the glamour of Hollywood. The Hollywood Reporter says, "It's the must-go party of the year!"
So grab your most glamorous outfit. Drape yourself in jewels. Don that tuxedo. And get ready for lights, camera... party! Get ready to dance the night away and show us your best Fred & Ginger impersonation.
Tickets are on sale now and we expect this event to sell out quickly. So don't delay!
Charity
AAS is pleased to support Kidz Horizon Appeal for this year's charity, a charitable organization that attends specifically to the medical needs of the most vulnerable in society – the needy children with chronic illnesses. Into its 18th successful year, the Appeal has been able to help more than 1400 needy patients alleviate the financial burden for their families and allowed them to concentrate on helping their loved ones get better.
