The inaugural Extra·Ordinary Stars event, organized by the charity Extra·Ordinary People, enables youths with special needs and those from underprivileged circumstances to pursue their ambitions fearlessly.

Young individuals possess the freedom to explore. They are urged to experiment, to traverse many avenues, to engage in novel endeavors; there are no constraints on investigating the mechanisms of the world prior to contributing to it. Only a teaspoon of courage is required, yet not all youths possess an equal measure to pursue their boundless potential; not all youths commence this marathon of life from the same starting point.
This flexibility in vision will activate the youth's boundless potential. Kindness is essential for a world that is both interconnected and diverse, fostering harmony. Transitioning our perspective from “Me” to “We” through the Unleash Your Light worldwide movement may be pivotal in cultivating cross-border synergy and facilitating personal and societal transformation. Since July 2017, the charity Extra·Ordinary People has endeavored to provide training and opportunities for youths with special needs and from underprivileged backgrounds to perform independently alongside renowned artists, exemplified by their recent fundraising event, the Extra·Ordinary Stars concert.

Differently abled youngsters will get the opportunity to perform with international artists such as renowned magician Cyril Takayama, Taiwanese vocalist A-Lin, and Benjamin Kheng, Glenn Yong, Wheel Smith, Zanna Phua, Adelyn Koh, John Chan, Isabelle Lim, and Daniel Teo. The event will additionally include the Cantare Choir, Singapore Raffles Music College, and the Extra·Ordinary People’s Extra·Ordinary Light Orchestra, among others.

Individuals with special needs and their families seldom possess the motivation, environment, and opportunity to realize independent living in accordance with their aspirations. We advocate for the transforming potential of positivity. Our objective is to generate possibilities for all individuals. “With Extra·Ordinary Stars, we aspire to inspire the special needs and underprivileged community to dream and share their narratives,” states Wee Boo Kuan, co-founder and director of Extra·Ordinary People, an IPC (Institution of a Public Character) charity that offers lifelong support to differently abled children and youth. Following their graduation from the Extra·Ordinary People Academy, the organization persists in offering them chances and support for achieving independence. That is hope, radiant and shimmering with youthful energy and potential.

China Mobile has initiated a distinct initiative whereby the initial 1,000 concert ticket buyers will be granted access to an exclusive promotional plan: 100GB for $10 per month. The Unleash Your Light project will donate 500 China Mobile plans to 500 low-income families for one year as part of the fundraising efforts for this concert. China Mobile and Unleash Your Light aim to occupy the entirety of the Extra•Ordinary Stars concert arena. Should the objective of selling out the full Extra•Ordinary Stars performance be achieved, Unleash Your Light will fund an additional 500 China Mobile plans, increasing the total to 1,000 plans donated to 1,000 low-income families for one year.

The 100-minute live performance is scheduled for 1 December 2023 at The Star Theatre. Tickets are available for purchase here. The funds will be allocated equally to the three IPC charitable organizations: Extra·Ordinary People, Happee Hearts Movement, and YMCA. A 250% tax rebate will be applied to each ticket transaction.
