Spirit of Giving 2022: A celebration of love, hope, and music

Published Dec 2, 2022 02:21 pm

After two consecutive annual online ventures, Spirit of Giving is back in the physical world.

The upcoming 4th edition may not be as grand as the 1 st edition in pre-pandemic 2019 at Conrad Hotel, but it is as grand and as noble in terms of objective.

Spirit of Giving 2020 and Spirit of Giving 2021 were done online due to restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.

Each of the first three editions of Spirit of Giving endeavored to raise funds to help support young, talented, but underprivileged performing arts scholars of The Performing Arts and Recreation Center (PARC) Foundation.

”Spirit of Giving 2022: A Celebration of Love, Hope, and Music”, the 4th edition, was inspired by the success of the Philippine Heritage Society Ball at Manila Hotel on July 25, 2022 by Lyric Opera of the Philippines (LyrOpera) headed by Sherwin Sozon.

Globaltronics was the official OOH media partner of this first ever Philippine Heritage Society Ball. 
The PARC Foundation’s advocacy runs parallel with LyrOpera’s mission of empowering underprivileged but talented youth and artists.

Globaltronics, The PARC Foundation, and Lyric Opera of the Philippines thus, collaborated to stage “Spirit of Giving 2022: A Celebration of Hope, Love, and Music”.

Happening on December 8, 2022, Saturday, starting at 7:00pm, at the Wilmer Ong Guido Hall of DigiPARC, the first “Truly Digital Events Place” in the country, it will be streamed through Facebook and YouTube in order to reach a wide local and international audience.

It will be a celebration of love, hope, and music as humankind is now at the cusp of the “New Normal”.
This fundraising musical and dance concert will feature top local and international talents like “Singaporean Tenor” Corey Koh, “Multifaceted Chinoy Artist” Jimmy Chung, “Josh Groban of the Philippines” Jonathan Badon, “Ethereal Diva” Laarni Lozada, “Singer/Songwriter/Cosplayer/Dancer” Lili Ash, “The Singing Events Hostess” Sherine Ann Koa, “Asia’s Il Divo” The Angelos, and PARCaralan Scholars.

All donations raised from this concert will benefit PARCaralan, the flagship program of The PARC Foundation which aims to provide educational assistance and free performing arts training to underprivileged and talented Filipino children.

Through the help of like-minded individuals and organizations, The PARC Foundation wishes to fulfill the dream of its late founder Wilmer Ong Guido of transforming the lives of 300 performing arts scholars by 2025.

Everyone is welcome to join and support this journey.
