But for this year’s anniversary celebration, Tutuban Center decided to forego with the usual glitzy celebration
by focusing on activities that will help foster a stronger bond with its
tenants, suppliers, partners and customers and the community.
Everything was simple,
straightforward but with a deeper sense of purpose. This was demonstrated by a
blood-letting activity in the morning where many of its employees participated
and gamely donated precious blood for the benefit of those in need of it, like
those suffering from certain blood-related ailments and other life-threatening
diseases.
A Mass was also held in the
afternoon in thanksgiving for all the blessings Tutuban Center received the
past year.
In the evening, Tutuban
Center took its anniversary celebration a notch higher as it held a “fashion-for-a-cause”
charity event called “Fashion for Compassion.” The show was in partnership with
Mode Elle, a fashion house that holds
fashion shows to raise funds for charity, and select Tutuban Center tenants who
served as clothing sponsors. The event sought to raise funds for Tahan-Tahanan
and Child Haus to help them sustain the care and provision of shelter for
cancer-stricken kids and their families from the provinces while seeking
treatment in Manila.
A prosperous future is in
the eyes of Tutuban Center but definitely, they won’t forget and leave behind
those that helped them get to their first 25 years as they chart their course
toward the next 25.
