SCCS Celebrates Lunar New Year with Childhood Cancer Patients, Survivors and Families KUCHING 11 FEBRUARY 2025 The Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society (SCCS) ushered in the Lunar New Year with a heartwarming celebration at The Northbank Club, generously sponsored once again by Ibraco Berhad. This festive gathering, SCCS’ first family engagement activity of the year, brought together childhood cancer patients, survivors, and their families for a memorable day of joy and connection.
With a program filled with engaging family-centric activities, the event aimed to create moments of happiness for the children while fostering meaningful relationships within the community. Ibraco, who was also the main sponsor of last year’s GoBald campaign—SCCS’ flagship annual fundraising initiative—has continued to demonstrate steadfast support, inspiring further collaborations from other corporations and organisations in the fight against childhood cancer.
“This was made possible by the love and commitment of our community, as well as the generosity of our supporters and donors. Together, we strive to ensure that no child or family has to face this journey alone,” expressed Marylene Placid, Treasurer of SCCS, in her opening speech.
The event was filled with lively performances and interactive segments, including a children’s fashion show where young warriors and their siblings showcased their confidence on the runway, a lucky draw with exciting prizes, a spirited family photo contest, mini-games and dance performances. The highlight of the celebration was a vibrant lion dance, adding an extra touch of festivity to the occasion.
Over 100 attendees participated in the celebration, including 23 families of patients and survivors, SCCS committee members, SCCS staff, medical staff and Ibraco representatives, all dressed in festive Lunar New Year attire to embrace the spirit of the season.
SCCS extended its heartfelt appreciation to Eragon NS Lion & Dragon Dance Association Sarawak, La Danse Studio, De Jackie Inspirations, and Enjoué Shots Photography for their generous contributions in making the event a success.
