The Diana Group, Pattaya Mail Publishing and City Life FM
raised nearly 400,000 baht for underprivileged children with a charity
concert featuring two generations of musicians.
The “For Love, For Children” concert at the Diana Garden
Resort January 21 featured performers Od Kiriboon and Room 39. More than
350,000 baht was raised through ticket purchases and another 30,600 baht
from a charity auction.
Thawatchai Thawornsujarit head of the Labour Court presided over the charity
event.
Proceeds from the show will go to provide scholarships
for children at Banglamung School, support the efforts of the Street
Children Project at the Child Welfare Foundation, the Y.W.C.A.
Bangkok-Pattaya Center and the Diana Group’s “Dharma on Time” to promote the
study and practice of high ethical and moral standards through religion to
the general public.
The evening event was a festive one, with fans turning
out to take photos and get autographs. Prince Malhotra, GM of Pattaya Mail
was guest singer on stage leading fans in a sing-a-long with the band.
Those attending not only enjoyed the music, but got a
chance to bid on or win some unique prizes. The charity auction saw the
musicians donate clothing, amulet frames and dolls to the cause.
A raffle drawing included such prizes as stays at the
Diana Garden Resort, Pinnacle Grand Resort & Spa, Phuket’s Ranyatawee Hotel
and Chiang Mai’s Downtown Inn and Bangkok Airways tickets.
At the end of a most enjoyable evening, Sophin Thappajug,
MD of the Diana Group of Hotels & Resorts said, “I am extremely pleased that
the concert was a resounding success. We changed the format of our
fundraising efforts this year. For many years we organized golf tournaments
to raise funds, but this year we decided to do a concert. It was a good
decision. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and
support.”

39 trio had the kids in the audience screaming and screeching.
