BingoPlus Foundation Brings Joy to Over 1,000 Beneficiaries with Make-a-Wish Program

DigiPlus Interactive and its social development arm, BingoPlus Foundation, donned the mantle of Santa Claus to bring joy and hope to Filipinos nationwide through their heartwarming Make-a-Wish program. With the support of BingoPlus Studio’s “Sagot ng Bingo Ang Regalo Mo” program, and local community engagement of the brand’s different stores, the initiative’s annual Christmas program expanded from 7 cities in 2023 to 37 cities in 2024, reaching over 20 provinces across the country.

Joyful smiles and heartfelt moments: Beneficiaries celebrate their dreams coming true during the gift-giving day of BingoPlus Foundation’s Make-A-Wish Program. With wishes grounded on the Foundation’s advocacies on education and livelihood, healthcare and resilience, the initiative reflects how the true spirit of Christmas can last even beyond the holiday season.

Wishes for loved ones, community members and non-profit organizations were gathered from BingoPlus and PeryaGame players and employees, resulting in 45 exceptional wishes after meticulous screening. Through the efforts of “Digibuddy” volunteers, these fulfilled wishes painted a vivid picture of compassion and generosity
