Happy 80th Birthday Blackmores!
Early this month, I got invited to the Blackmores 80th Anniversary Celebration at the SHELTER Home for Children in Petaling Jaya. Now I seldom would sacrifice my Sundays to go cover events because I would like to spend my Sundays with my family or by myself doing house chores or going shopping. Now that sounds lovely and selfish at the same time because there are underprivileged people out there who might benefit from what we can give them, whether it be our time, donations in kind or just to be appreciated or remembered.
That is just what Blackmores thought of for their 80th birthday party. They decided to celebrate their big 80 (a very significant age number) by throwing a tea party at SHELTER, Petaling Jaya. Blackmores employees played with the underprivileged children during the activity and dance session. It was a joyous day as I see the children smiling gleefully at the attention they are getting.

Also joining in the celebration are the senior citizens from Rumah Charis who mingle around and took their time absorbing their surroundings and watching the children dance and laugh throughout the day.

It was also a charitable event where Blackmores celebrate their 80th birthday with a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative called Blackmores 80 Deeds Campaign 2012. The Blackmores 80 Deeds Campaign 2012 is a campaign that encourages Malaysians from all walks of life to "pay it forward" to another Malaysian. In other words it’s to spread a good deed from one to another.

Kick starting the campaign; guess who made the first move to pay it forward in the Blackmores 80 Deeds Campaign 2012? None other than Blackmores themselves! What did they do? They will be donating RM80,000 worth of Blackmores supplements to 25 old folks homes and underprivileged children homes in the Klang Valley & Selangor! Rumah Charis & Shelter Home for Children are first recipients of Blackmores Malaysia giveaway of RM80,000 worth of Blackmores supplement in conjunction with Blackmores 80th Anniversary.
“Blackmores’ 80th year is a significant one, and the launch of the Blackmores 80 Deeds Campaign 2012 is in perfect expression of the corporate vision for a healthier and happier world. In keeping with that, the campaign encourages all Malaysians to extend a kind deed to another Malaysian, be it a family member, colleague or even a ‘frenemy’, without expecting any form of compensation. Participating citizens are then required to post their deeds via their social media platform of choice to be in the running for the best 8 deeds award by Blackmores,” explained Mr Eddy.
