3 Million Hugs from Jollibee

 
ERDA officials receive Jollibee's donation...
 

ERDA TECH Foundation was recently chosen as one of eight grantees of Jollibee’s 30th anniversary gift-giving project for children. 


The formal turnover of the donations, held on 24 March 2009 at the Manila Ocean Park, was attended by heads and representatives of the selected foundations, along with some of their children beneficiaries. 


Fr. Johnny Go, SJ, and Fr. Pierre Tritz, SJ, Chairman and President, respectively, accepted on behalf of ERDA TECH Foundation a Certificate of Donation, and corresponding check, for P3 million. According to the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement signed days earlier, this amount is Jollibee’s donation to the Pierre Tritz-ERDA Group Endowment Fund, the earnings of which are earmarked for the sponsorship of Jollibee Scholars enrolled at the ERDA Technical High School. The first two Jollibee Scholars for this SY 2009-10 are to be selected from incoming third-year students specializing in food technology.


Jollibee Hug & Share Doll

In appreciation of the continued patronage of millions of Filipinos and especially their children, Jollibee, the country’s leading fast food chain, decided to cap its 30th anniversary celebration with this grand gift-giving project, giving out donations totaling P 18 million to support selected foundations working for the welfare of Filipino children, particularly those less fortunate. 


Funds for these donations had been raised last year mainly through the sales of Hug & Share dolls, a fundraising project spearheaded by Jollibee Foods Corporation and Jollibee Franchisees Association, with the support of Jollibee Foundation. 

 

 

The seven other grantees at the March 25 ceremonies were the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (Quezon City), Families and Children for Empowerment and Development Foundation (Manila), Cottolengo Filipino (Rizal), House With No Steps Foundation (Quezon City), Marcellin Project (General Santos City), Shontoug Foundation (Baguio City) and Jollibee Foundation’s Busog, Lusog, Talino In-School Feeding Program (Leyte).

 

The ERDA Group wishes to express its appreciation to Jollibee for including the ERDA TECH Foundation in this select list of grantees, and for this continuing collaboration in promoting the interests of our country’s children.
