ACRES Charity Gala: Wild Second Chances will be held at Marina Bay Sands on 18 May 2024, with generous support from MBS.

‘Wild Second Chances’ is about giving rescued wildlife a second chance.

This year, we aim to raise $300,000 to allow us to:

a) Expand ACRES Sanctuary

ACRES is home to over 100 other victims of the illegal wildlife trade, many of whom are not fortunate enough to return back to the wild. To enhance their living conditions, we are embarking on a significant project to repurpose our land previously deemed unusable after toxic contamination by contractors. This revitalised space will also provide a larger outdoor environment for rehabilitating rescued native wildlife.

b) Continue To Send Non-Native Rescued Wild Animals Home

At ACRES, we believe that wild animals belong in the wild. Where possible, we return these wildlife to their natural habitats, where they can truly thrive. With experience gained from our 2018 landmark repatriation of 50 Indian Star tortoises, we are now more than determined to begin the process to repatriate another 20 over Indian Star tortoises in 2024.

Without fail, at the crack of dawn, the unrelenting call of the Asian Koel fills the air in Singapore.

We are borrowing the infamous “Uwu” call of the Asian Koel to give the first shout out for our charity gala.

From 1 April, all ticket purchases will be matched 1 to 1 by the Tote Board. We would appreciate it deeply if you could help us achieve the matching. You may send an email to Ram@acres.org.sg to reserve the seat/table and make payment from 1 April onwards.

All seat and table purchases are eligible for 250% tax deduction.

Join us for an unforgettable and magnificent night. This year, we promise yet another splendid cruelty-free gala with a smashing programme & entertainment, fine wine & beer, an 8-course vegan feast, attractive instant win & big draw prizes for raffle tickets, silent & live auctions and a dance party.
