The elderly, our cherished senior citizens, hold a special place in our communities and families. As time gracefully ages them, they often require a helping hand to navigate the challenges of daily life. Assisting our elderly loved ones and neighbors is not just an act of kindness; it’s a crucial responsibility. These individuals have contributed to society, shaped our world, and now, they deserve our support and care. Whether it’s offering companionship, aiding with daily tasks, or ensuring their well-being, helping the elderly is a reflection of our values as a compassionate society. This simple act of assistance can make a world of difference in their lives, promoting dignity, happiness, and a sense of belonging.
One organization that exemplifies this commitment to helping the elderly is Self-Help for the Elderly. Dedicated to improving the lives of senior citizens, they provide essential services and support, embodying the spirit of compassion and care for our elderly population.
In line with their mission, Self-Help for the Elderly is gearing up for an exciting event that promises to make a significant impact on the lives of seniors. As they continue their tireless efforts to support the elderly, they invite you to join them at their 36th Annual Chinese Opera Benefit. This upcoming fundraiser promises an unforgettable evening of cultural richness and entertainment, all while contributing to a worthy cause.
Love theater performances and the opera? Join us for our annual Chinese Opera Benefit! Self-Help for the Elderly hosts the Chinese Opera Benefit once a year as a weekend event. It is a grand experience of Cantonese opera for everyone to enjoy. Cantonese opera is a traditional Chinese opera incorporating music, singing, acrobatics, martial arts, and acting. The traditional plots are based on Chinese historical stories and famous classics and myths.
Each year, the Chinese Opera Benefit features the Duen Fung Ming Chinese Opera Troupe. The troupe features professional performers who put on a show full of the love and hate, gentle and bold, and war and peace complexity that Chinese opera has to offer. The night is filled with singing, dancing, pantomime, acrobatics, and clowning. It is a night filled of fun and friends!
