In the spirit of Halloween, the FBM Foundation brought smiles and support to the indigenous children of Subic through their touching initiative 'Treats for Our Champions'. In partnership with the St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, the foundation not only provided essential goods but also created a day filled with joy, tradition, and Halloween celebration.
The FBM Foundation, in collaboration with the St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, organized the event 'Treats for Our Champions'. This initiative enabled the donation of 60 bags of rice, 1,500 assorted canned goods, 50 packs of condiments, and 60 packs of milk. Besides these essential supplies, the children enjoyed a Halloween celebration full of treats and cultural pride.
Performances of traditional indigenous dances and dramatization activities organized by the children themselves provided an exciting display of their heritage and talent, adding color and cultural significance to the day.
"In this event, we went beyond donating, bringing a meaningful experience that nurtured joy, pride, and community spirit. Seeing the children's smiles and hearing their laughter as they exchanged sweets really highlighted the success of this initiative," stated Lulu Barreras, Project Coordinator of the FBM Foundation in the Philippines.
In addition to the donations, the FBM Foundation distributed Halloween-themed treats, including candies and small toys, which brought an extra dose of happiness to the children. The event was marked by touching moments, such as children who had already received toys kindly returning them, saying they wanted to share with other children. This moving behavior demonstrated the strong community values instilled by the caregivers of the St. Francis Learning Center Foundation.
Part of the initiative was also made possible by the success of the "Keepy-Uppy Charity Challenge", a partnership celebrated between the FBM Foundation and FBMDS, an online casino game provider of the group, during the G2E Las Vegas, a casino gaming fair.
Visitors to the booth participated enthusiastically in this challenge, where each "keepy-uppy" added $1 to support meaningful causes. Thanks to everyone's involvement, the FBM Foundation raised nearly $1,000, which helped bring the "Treats for Our Champions" event to life. This collective effort turned fun into impactful support for the indigenous children of Subic, making the day truly special.
The dedication of the FBM Foundation in supporting communities goes beyond material contributions. Through meaningful partnerships with organizations like the St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc., the foundation continues to build and nurture relationships within communities, helping to create brighter futures for those who need it most.
The FBM Foundation was born from specific humanitarian actions coordinated by the FBM® brand to help Filipino communities affected by natural disasters. The foundation also takes concrete actions to encourage education and promote socioeconomic changes that produce positive long-term effects.
