More than 460 guests turned out to the Colombo Plaza Hotel’s sumptuous Oak Room, and thrilled to the sounds of British jazz sensation Barb Jungr. Delighted guests called for a repeat performance and, by all accounts, the standard has been set for a stunning annual event.

Headline guest Barb Jungr summed up the mood of the evening when she said, “Artistic expression liberates the psyche and soul of the individual, and this is of increasing importance in times of crisis or in people for whom usual forms of expression are limited.”

Events like the Charity Dinner of the Year would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors. Sunera is particularly grateful to Sri Lanka Telecom, the National Lotteries Board, The Colombo Plaza Hotel and Sri Lanka Airlines for their contributions to this special evening.
