The Loyalty Day celebration will again be a platform for launching another meaningful collaboration between UPLB, UPLBAA, and the Class of 1974, this year’s jubilarians.
On the occasion of the 106th Loyalty Day celebration, the collaborators will launch The Gift of Sight Legacy Project, an initiative to leave a lasting impact on UPLB and its surrounding communities. This legacy project aims to install a cataract surgery and eye care facility at UPLB’s University Health Service (UHS), ensuring affordable and accessible eye care for the constituents of UPLB, Los Baños, and the neighboring towns.
Fundraising for a cause
As part of the project’s fundraising efforts, a successful golf tournament was held on June 10, 2024, at the scenic Ayala Greenfield Golf and Leisure Club. This event brought together alumni, sponsors, and supporters, all united by the common goal of making eye care available to those in need. The tournament raised funds and also increased awareness about the importance of accessible vision care for the local community. Following the golf tournament’s success, the legacy project has several upcoming events lined up to sustain its fundraising momentum.
The Loyalty Ball is set to take place on October 7 at Baker Hall. This fundraising activity will bring together the UPLB community, alumni, and patrons in a night of music and dance. Guests will enjoy a memorable evening while contributing to the realization of the Gift of Sight legacy project.
Raffle draw
Adding excitement to the fundraising campaign is the raffle draw. Aptly named “‘Sang Libo Mo, Liwanag sa Kanya“, participants will have the opportunity to win prizes while contributing to the cause, with each ticket purchased going directly toward the construction of the much-needed cataract and eye care facility.
The Gift of Sight Legacy Project is a testament to the power of collective action and the enduring bond of the UPLB community. By providing cataract surgery and other essential eye care services, the project will address a critical healthcare gap, improving the quality of life for countless individuals.
