Since 2015, Wilcon Depot, the Philippines’ leading home improvement and construction supply retailer, annually gathers its valued suppliers and industry partners for its invitational golf tournament to support chosen charities.
This year, Wilcon is donating the funds to the communities hit by the Taal Volcano eruption. Wilcon successfully conducted its sixth annual golf tournament at the Forest Hills Golf and Country Club, Antipolo City on Jan. 29.
The golf tournament gave their valued suppliers and partners the chance to enjoy a fun-filled and meaningful day of sportsmanship. The majority of proceeds will directly benefit the affected areas in the provinces of Batangas, Cavite and Laguna. It will fund Wilcon’s continuous relief missions in assisting the thousands of displaced families.
Wilcon has initially distributed relief goods through the assistance of its local workforce in coordination with local government units (LGUs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Wilcon also engaged its nationwide employees in giving out relief supplies including food, water, clothes, toiletries, and other necessities as well as financial assistance. It also pledged to donate 500 units of toilet bowls to contribute to people’s long-term needs.
Each year Wilcon continues to advance its mission in providing assistance to victims of natural calamities and disasters. With the recent Taal Volcano eruption, the company commits to help improve and uplift others’ lives.
