Tatler Ball is fast approaching! Did you know that 100 per cent of the proceeds raised at every annual Tatler Ball goes to our charity beneficiary? Here, we give you a brief glimpse of our partner charities through the years
It is one of the most anticipated events on Philippine society’s social calendar, and, as such, Tatler Philippines continues a tradition of celebrating its anniversary with characteristic elegance and flair.
Since it was first held in November 2002, the Tatler Ball has become more than just a celebration of life extraordinary through our annual awarding of some of the country’s most prominent individuals. It has also become one of the country’s major philanthropic events. Over the years, the proceeds from the auction held at the Ball and private donations have benefited a broad spectrum of worthy causes. Find out more below:
(2002) MAKABATA FOUNDATION
Founded in 1996, this school foundation began as a feeding programme for street children by the Bread of Life Ministry in EDSA Shrine in 1994. From 1995 to 2001, under the auspices of the Poveda Learning Centre, its faculty, the parents’ association, and members of the Teresian Association, the children who were part of the feeding programme were provided with catechism classes and academic tutorials. By 2002, the foundation established its school in Pasig City and formally opened its doors from 2001 to 2002. Makabata School Foundation was the first beneficiary of Tatler Philippines, both starting to build their names in their respective fields at the time and making a difference in society.
