SLFFA held its biennial Dinner Dance at the Hilton Colombo, on 09th November 2018. In the past years, SLFFA had always organized the biennial ‘Dinner Dance’ event to support a worthy cause within our society. SLFFA has always donated the proceeds of this event to support a worthy cause that has been pre-identified by the Executive Committee and as in previous years, this years’ funds as well will be donated to the Lady Ridgeway Hospital (LRH). Following positive feedback received from the Doctors and the nursing staff at LRH for the quality of work and equipment provided by SLFFA, and the humbling experience gained by the final outcome of the projects undertaken, the Executive Committee decided to continue with assisting the LRH with necessary aid to uplift the quality of services provided to the general public. SLFFA donated 31 Operating Theatre Doors worth of 2.5 Million from the Dance 2012 funds and a total of 10 high quality patient trolleys along with the mattresses worth 1.2 Million to the Hospital from SLFFA Dance 2014 funds. Continuing with its CSR initiatives, SLFFA donated cleaning equipment for operating theatres and wards and installed CCTV camera system worth of 1.1 Million, to the Lady Ridgeway Hospital from the funds collected SLFFA Dance 2016.
