Every event is a bridge — between students and communities, between awareness and action. Read the reports from our past events below.
A student-led fundraising event that turned compassion into action.
H.U.N.G.E.R. Game — Event Photo
The H.U.N.G.E.R. Game was a BrightNotes flagship event designed to raise both funds and awareness for stateless children living in Taiwan. Through an innovative format combining performance, competition, and community challenge, participants engaged directly with the issues these children face every day.
The event drew students from multiple schools and communities, channeling competitive energy into purposeful fundraising. Every admission, every challenge completed, and every donation went directly toward supporting the children The Lantern Foundation serves.
More than a fundraiser, the H.U.N.G.E.R. Game was an act of solidarity — a reminder that the discomfort of acknowledging a problem is nothing compared to the discomfort of living it.

A Love-Lit Christmas — Concert Photo
A Love-Lit Christmas was The Lantern Foundation's most intimate event of the year — a student-performed Christmas concert held specifically for the stateless children and their caregivers in the community homes we serve.
The CS Music Club from Chingshin Academy led the performances, filling the room with carols, original compositions, and music that transcended language. For many of the children in attendance, it was their first experience of a live concert held in their honor.
The event brought together BrightNotes and HeartLink in a joint effort — pairing musical performance with the sustained presence and care that defines HeartLink's approach. It was not just a concert. It was a statement: you are seen, and you are loved.
