Robinsons Galleria Cebu Tree Festival @ December 2015

An interesting highlight for the Robinsons Galleria Cebu is the Robinsons Malls TREE FESTIVAL, where fourteen companies and organizations responded to Robinsons invitation to be one of the Corporate Social Responsibility Christmas Trees on display during the opening and during the Christmas season.

This is the beginning of an annual tradition where Robinsons Galleria Cebu will be a focal point for the Cebu community in celebrating creativity and altruism as a way of inspiring others to engage in worthwhile causes.

Each tree represents a charity or CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) project beneficiary. For the whole month of December, different Christmas trees will be on display. Mallgoers may choose their favorite and donate to the charity of their choice represented by a specific Christmas tree.

This is a signature Robinsons Christmas CSR activity and will be rolled out to all Robinsons Malls nationwide by December 2016
