Renaissance raises $3 million
With the grace of our almighty God, the Renaissance Banquet 2012 held on March 9 and 10 was a tremendous success. With prayers, hard work, efforts and time, we have raised almost $3 million from the event. About 500 students, over 100 parent volunteers and many faculty and support staff participated in banquets. We thank all of you for your contributions and most of all, your heart for ICS.
A total of more than 900 guests on both nights enjoyed a stunning performance. Students sang madrigals, played court music, and performed breathtaking gymnastics on the stage and trapeze. Guests were amazed and touched by the many talents of our students.
Our students’ wide variety of talents were broadcast to the Hong Kong community! To read the articles on the 2012 Renaissance Banquet written in Young Post and Sing Tao Daily, click here.
