Aboitiz team members bring Christmas joy to 500 indigent children

Aboitiz team members recently shared their time and delivered Christmas cheer and goodies to 500 indigent children from Aboitiz host communities in Cebu and Manila as part of the Aboitiz Group’s annual Christmas Outreach.

Last December 3, over 200 team members from Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV), Aboitiz Foundation, AboitizLand, AboitizPower, Pilmico, SN Aboitiz Power, and Weather Philippines Foundation served as big brothers and sisters to children from SOS Children’s Village and Lapu-Lapu City in Cebu and Barangay Central Signal Village in Taguig City.

The children experienced a fun half-day party featuring games, mascot and magic shows, and performances from some Aboitiz team members. The children also received toys placed in boxes as well as Noche Buena packages for their families.

“Seeing the innocent smiles of these kids is a blessing that shapes our perspective towards humility and gratitude. We are reminded that more than the amount of any CSR (corporate social responsibility) project, it is the personal time of our team members set aside for spreading goodwill that is of greater value,” said Erramon Aboitiz, AEV President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Aboitiz Christmas Outreach has become an annual tradition for Aboitiz team members to give back and bring simple joy to children during Christmas. Led by the Christmas Outreach Committee, team members initiate fundraising activities such as Trivia Night, Give-A-Gift, Bingo, Love in a Shoebox, among others, to prepare for the actual children’s party.

The Aboitiz Foundation is an organization of compassionate service, one that can be counted on to provide assistance to those in need as part of its thrust to promote Health & Well-Being for a BetterWorld.
