Robinsons Gensan Turns Over Crutches, Canes & Wheelchair to Lupus Patients of the City
June 02, 2024 – In celebration of Lupus Awareness Month, Robinsons GenSan in cooperation with the Office of City Councilor Virginia Tiongson Llido of Gen. Santos City, launched the “2nd GenSan Run for Lupus Warriors” held at Robinsons GenSan mall grounds.
The fun run seeks to promote awareness on Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus), which is a long-term disease of the immune system that entails a lifetime of financial burden for the patients and for their families. The activity also aims to raise funds for the benefit of the community’s Lupus warriors and provide essential medical equipment to select patients.
Recognizing its role in making a difference to the lives of the city’s Lupus warriors, Robinsons GenSan offered to be a venue partner and mobilized the R Gift of Health program, an RLove social sustainability platform under Robinsons Land Foundation Inc.
Through R Gift of Health, Robinsons GenSan employees, led by its Mall Operations Manager Leomabell Velandria, purchased and donated crutches, canes and a wheelchair for deserving Lupus patients handpicked by the City Councilor Office’ physicians. Additionally, they provided refreshments to the fun-run participants.
R Gift of Health is one of RLove’s social sustainability platform that brings medical assistance and services, such as screenings & consultations, and medicines; closer to communities that need them the most.
RLove believes that good health is vital in order to have a good quality of life.
