A Rafflesian Nightcap: Post-ORA Dinner Charity Drinks
Dinner's done, but the conversations shouldn't have to end at the ballroom doors.
Whether you're coming straight from the Old Rafflesians' Association Annual Dinner still in your good shoes, or couldn't make the dinner but don't want to miss out on the conversations — join us for a post-dinner Rafflesian Charity Night Cap to drink for a good cause.
We've teamed up with Rafflesian-owned Brass Lion Distillery for a night of proudly Singaporean cocktails, in support of 4 Rafflesian-led charities doing real work in our community.
Browse our menu here.
No speeches, no seating plans. Just good drinks, better company, and a chance to catch up with the people you didn't get to sit next to at dinner.
