Melco hosts “Simple Acts of Kindness – Elderly Got Talent” event with UGAMM

  • The “Melco Simple Acts of Kindness 2024 – Elderly Got Talent” event attracted around 500 community members.
  • The event aims to provide an opportunity for elderly individuals to come together, have fun, and find a sense of purpose and joy.

In late August, Melco Resorts & Entertainment, in partnership with the General Union of Neighbourhood Associations of Macau (UGAMM), hosted the “Melco Simple Acts of Kindness 2024 – Elderly Got Talent” event, taking place at City of Dreams.

The event drew approximately 500 community members, including nine performance teams with 75 performers, their friends and families, as well as representatives from 16 NGOs.

Lawrence Ho, Chairman and CEO of Melco, said, “We are honored to be co-organizing the ‘Elderly Got Talent’ event in collaboration with UGAMM. It is a joy to see our elderlies enjoying themselves with purpose and participating at the event, and to have the chance to come together for a fun and fruitful day out. Their dedication and effort in contributing to such great performances is both admirable and inspiring.”

Chan Ka Leong, Director-General of UGAMM, added, “This elderly talent event is co-organized with Melco to strengthen the gathering of elderlies in Macau, to showcase their talent, vitality and vibrant style, and to enable local elderlies the chance to experience the festive atmosphere of the ‘Double Celebration Year’ together.”

The nine performing groups were from various local organizations. The diverse performances included drama, cheongsam fashion shows, sign language songs, dances, hand chimes, steel drums and music band shows. Each act incorporated elements of patriotism and love for Macau, delivering stirring performances that resonated deeply with the audience.

Melco noted that the event aimed to provide a joyous gathering for seniors, allowing them to celebrate together, find a sense of purpose and joy in preparing for a performance, and share their happiness with loved ones
