Donate Globe Rewards points for Lent
GLOBE provides opportunities to donate to charitable causes through its Globe Rewards program. Customers who would like to do their share for the environment, communities and the nation, can donate their Rewards points that will expire on March 31, 2021 to their chosen non-government organizations (NGOs), charitable institutions, and foundations for as low as P1. Given the country’s current situation, customers are encouraged to donate to the PGH Medical Foundation, Inc. to help provide much-needed support for healthcare frontliners and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Points donated will be used to support health workers’ expenses on housing, meals, PPEs and other various protective gear. For those looking to support other meaningful causes, the following organizations are also part of the platform and are in need of support: ABS-CBN Foundation which supports children under the care of Bantay Bata 163 and Sagip Kapamilya’s relief and rehabilitation efforts; Ayala Foundation which provides internet connectivity to public school teachers; Hineleban Foundation which restores the primary forests of Bukidnon and Lanao del Sur; JCI Manila which beautifies the walled city of Intramuros through Philippine native trees; Moments with Father Jerry Foundation which supports the elderly and sick priests and brothers under the Society of the Divine Word; the Natasha Goulbourn Foundation which assists in the operations and training of new frontline responders for the 24/7 hotline for suicide prevention and emotional crisis; Philippine Animal Welfare Society Philippines which aids in medical treatments of rescued animals; The Rotary Foundation which supports efforts to eradicate polio worldwide; Save Philippine Seas which educates children on the wonders of marine biodiversity; and the Walang Iwanan Alliance which provides meals and nutrition to underserved families within Metro Manila. Donations may be done through the Globe Rewards App http://glbe.co/GRewardsApp. During the height of the community quarantine last year, a record P36 million in cash donations for the benefit of health workers and frontliners in 11 medical institutions nationwide was successfully raised by 491,821 loyal Globe customers through their Rewards points. These were used to provide much-needed test kits, alcohol, and complete sets of personal protective equipment (PPEs) such as surgical masks face shields, and surgical gowns.
