REVIVE is embracing the spirit of giving this festive season with the Rev Up My School campaign 2015.

The campaign, which raises money for needy schools, has contributed RM400,000 to 30 schools over the past three years and is looking to raise another RM150,000 to aid 10 schools this year.

Consumers can participate in this charitable campaign by purchasing a 325ml x 24 cartons of Revive Isotonic or Pepsi before March 1.

Revive will then donate a percentage of the sale of each carton sold to the selected schools.

Donations will go towards improving the school’s facilities as well as refurbishing any items or areas that need attention.

“I think this campaign is very meaningful and I also believe that the givers always get the best satisfaction,” said popular TV host Lynn Lim at the Revive Isotonic roadshow in Tesco Extra Bukit Puchong.

Also present at the roadshow was actor and radio DJ Jack Lim, most well known for his role in Ah Beng as the show’s titular character.

“I hope more people will join this event and purchase Revive Isotonic and Pepsi drinks this festive season to help the needy schools,” said Jack, who along with Lynn are the spokespersons of the Rev Up My School campaign.

Jack added that the funds raised would greatly help with the improvement of the sports facilities of the schools, citing grassless football fields and the problems it causedto students who want to play football and exercise.

The roadshow, organised for fans to meet and greet spokespersons Jack and Lynn, also serves to raise awareness about the campaign and interact with the public.

Roadshow attendees can also play games with Jack and Lynn and stand a chance to win prizes.

Several more roadshows will be held in February at different Tesco stores throughout the peninsula.
