The Faculty Pantomime is Back!

Panto Update!
Words are inadequate to describe our gratitude for your amazing support of the faculty pantomime.  From those who gave up their time to participate and help out, to our amazing parents who cooked us beautiful Indian food for the staff, to all of you that came to enjoy the fun.  We had two sellout shows!  Even more amazing was that between ticket donations and concession sales, we raised a grand total of 6,595,000 won - thats enough to support several patients for their treatment.  Wow ... thank you so much SFS community.  You are truly amazing.

Hi everyone

Just a few short weeks to go until we kick off our 2015 fundraising campaign.  However, we get one early, exciting event this year:- the faculty pantomime is back!


Pantomime has a long tradition at SFS - it has been around as long as our partnership with Eugene Bell (about 15 years) and has always been linked to fundraising for our TB patients.  It has been on Hiatus for a few years, but tonight, we are thrilled to be presenting a sell-out show:  "Once Upon A Time" in Robb Hall.  Its a fabulous show, full of the typical pantomime shennagins!  If you haven't got your tickets yet, there are still a few left for tomorrow's performance, but not many.


Traditionally, we cast the show before Christmas and then faculty get two weeks to rehearse it and bring it all together, before presenting to you, our community!  This year, staff have had three weeks!


We hope you enjoy the show.

Check back here in the middle of February to keep up to date with what is happening once our fundaising kicks off!  We will have patient updates, a trip report from Mrs Simpson, and much, MUCH more.  Don't forget that as part of our fundraising, we offer a wonderful variety of classes for anyone, and an excellent silent auction.  If you are interested in donating items or skills for classes, let us know!
