Children from Garing Elementary School in Consolacion, Cebu receive the SM Bears of Joy from SM City Consolacion employee-volunteers
SM City Cebu and SM City Consolacion distribute hundreds of the SM Bears of Joy to target beneficiaries from Cebu City and in the town of Consolacion.
The Bears of Joy were purchased by shoppers for only P200. The customer then gets to keep one bear, and the other is for donation to a chosen beneficiary by SM Supermalls.
Over 500 children under the care of the Autism Society of the Philippines Cebu Chapter and identified SPED schools receive the Bears of Joy at the Event Centre. Assistant Vice President for Marketing Visayas of SM Supermalls Jenjen Amigo and SM City Cebu assistant mall manager Marilou Kiunisala, together with employee-volunteers led the distribution of the Bears of Joy. Also present during the turnover ceremony were Autism Society Cebu Chapter officers and Rotarians.
