On the afternoon of November 24, 2022, Ricons attended the press conference held by Gamuda Land to announce the 2023 Run for the Heart program. This yearly run is held to raise money for pediatric heart surgery.
Commerce aside, social responsibility has always been Ricons’s emphasis as a way to support the general welfare of the community as well as the planet. As a result, it is the firm’s deep-rooted tradition to sponsor a variety of communitty-inspired initiatives each year. These range from helping to build free houses for needy families, paying for young patients’ medical bills, and offering assistance to citizens in the central part of the country who have been severely affected by natural catastrophes.
One of the highlight programs is ‘Run for the heart’ – the annual marathon hosted by Gamuda Land Investor. Ricons has been a part of the initiative since 2019, and this is the third consecutive year that the company has served as the primary sponsor of the program. The purpose is to give kids with congenital heart disease a chance at a long and healthy life. The program’s statistics show that 68% of the families who received assistance for the cost of their children’s heart surgery have been lifted out of poverty. In order to fulfill the program’s mission, which is ‘Connect the heartbeat – nurture the sprouts of life,’ the people at Ricons intend to fulfil the mission of creating a better world: a world of humanity and kindness.
