AFTER two months of fund- raising, Tropicana Foundation collected more than RM220,000 to help the underprivileged.
The initiatives involved raising funds and buying dry goods for the needy for the festive period, extending to 11 homes that are home to 400 community members across Klang Valley.
The finale was held at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort where 120 guests including children, people with disabilities and senior citizens were treated to good food, entertainment and donation giveaways.
Tropicana Foundation has been running this fundraising campaign for the last five years, instilling and encouraging the art of caring.
Tropicana senior general manager Serena Lim expressed her joy and appreciation at the efforts of her team.

“Their sheer determination and hard work have paid off as we raised more than double the amount compared to last year.
“The donations received are valued at more than RM220,000 worth of perishable and non-perishable items and resources from cash, outdoor media banners, food and beverage and event space sponsorship from Tropicana Golf & Country Resort.
“I would like to thank all our sponsors and business partners as well as the employees of Tropicana for their valuable support and generous donations.”
