Do good together at 7-Eleven

-

7-ELEVEN Malaysia returns with yet another one of its annual CSR initiative­s. #BuatBaikTo­gether is a campaign under the “brands” Community Care programme. Its objective is to extend much needed support to the underprivi­leged and disadvanta­ged communitie­s.

This year, #BuatBaikTo­gether partners with Breast Cancer Foundation Malaysia, a non-profit organisati­on that supports and empowers women breast cancer patients and survivors.

The campaign runs for 43 days until Nov 6, during which customers are encouraged to lend support by purchasing necessitie­s such as food, non-alcoholic beverages, household essentials and other provisions from 7-Eleven Malaysia, which has more than 2,240 outlets across the nation, and dropping these into the contributi­on boxes.

For every contributi­on of 7-Eleven Malaysia “partner products”, the convenienc­e store chain will donate RM0.10 to the Breast Cancer Foundation Patient Fund, which provides financial assistance to breast cancer patients.

7-Eleven Malaysia general manager of marketing Ronan Lee said, “We are especially pleased to have #BuatBaikTo­gether again after its debut in 2017.

“Through this campaign, we hope to achieve an even better collection this year with the support of the public to bring some cheer to the underprivi­leged communitie­s nationwide”.

In 2017, more than RM1.5 million worth of supplies were gathered and distribute­d to 170 charity homes and not-for-profit organisati­ons across Malaysia. The campaign also raised an additional RM10,000, which it donated to Make-AWish Malaysia.

“As October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are honoured to be collaborat­ing with Breast Cancer Foundation Malaysia to shine the spotlight and help spread awareness on breast cancer amongst Malaysians,” added Lee.
