TODAYonline: "$3.24m for Cancer Charity Show campaign
IT'S official — Singaporeans' confidence in charity organisations is back.
.
That is, going by the $3.24 million in donations pledged by the end of last night's Cancer Charity Show 2005, for the beneficiaries of the Singapore Cancer Society (SCS).

The first televised extravaganza to be staged by a single voluntary welfare organisation (VWO) since the National Kidney Foundation saga, the show marked the second week of a fund-raising campaign that has, already, equalled the total amount raised in last year's three-week campaign.
.
A total of 181,568 calls were received during the three-and-a-half hour show, which was aired live on MediaCorp TV Channel 8.

The number of pledges spiked noticeably whenever Project SuperStar champion Tan Wei Lian took the stage — he sang four times during the evening.
