To pass on a Deed of Donation and to celebrate three years of advocacy for the Child Life Program, Kythe and SC Johnson held a turnover event last August 28 at the SC Johnson office in Estrella, Makati, in the presence of the SC Johnson staff, Kythe staff, and Kythe beneficiary families.

SC Johnson was represented by country manager Mr. Floyd Pedernal, HR manager Mr. Adrian Tiozon, and Ms. Chato Tolentino.

Members of the Kythe team present to receive the donation were trustee Mr. Gerry Bacarro, executive director Girlie Garcia Lorenzo, partner relations manager Karen Rivera, and PHC Child Life Coordinator Juliet Marleen Reyes.

Impressed particularly by Kythe’s professionalism in building good partner relationships, Mr. Floyd Pedernal shared his hope that SC Johnson and Kythe grow together in their capacity to impact patient beneficiaries, and expressed the company’s desire to extend their reach to other Kythe affiliate hospitals. He thanked Kythe for giving the company the opportunity to help others.

On behalf of Kythe, Mr. Bacarro offered his gratitude to SC Johnson and cited the impact of the donation on the lives of the patients.

One patient to come forward and share her gift of singing was Mary Joy Mendoza, who performed Frozen’s “Let It Go.” Mary Joy was accompanied by her mother Janet Mendoza.

After his presentation, Mr. Pedernal was given personalized cards from the children of PHC, a show of appreciation for their donors.

The funds that support the Child Life Program have been crucial in promoting the holistic treatment of the patients of PHC, and for that, Kythe thanks SC Johnson for their renewal of a meaningful partnership.
