Special Performances
The Charity Gala Dinner 2023 featured an array of captivating performances throughout the evening, all meticulously curated and delivered by talented performers and artists.
Tribute to Mrs Teo Poh Yim
S3 honoured the memory of Mrs Teo Poh Yim, who founded our organisation in 2015, and who later passed away peacefully in 2021. Her visionary leadership established a vital haven where the stroke community could access affordable recovery services and comprehensive support in the community.
8-year-old violinist prodigy, Travis Wong, performed Mrs Teo’s favourite classical pieces: ‘Introduction’ and ‘Tarantella’.
The ‘Art of Therapy’, a commissioned masterpiece in memory of Mrs Teo, painted by Mr Joseph Tay, a stroke survivor and S3 member. The painting depicts the graceful dance of two dancers atop a bonsai, with a walking aid leaning against the side. Mr Tay used such symbolism to portray the healing process of stroke survivors.
The ‘Art of Therapy’ was presented by Mr Teo Chee Hean to the Stephen Riady Foundation as the Founder’s Award for their generous support towards S3 over the years.
