In 1987, it helped the National Museum acquire the sculpture, "The Living World" by Ju Ming, in conjunction with the Museum's centennial celebrations. A fund-raising campaign with the theme, "Trans-Island and Supporters of the Arts" was drawn up to encourage mass participation. TIBS subsequently received the PRISM award (Public Relations in the Service of Mankind) for this contribution to the community."
