American Standard ‘Shower for Good’ benefit sale sold 1000 American Standard GENIE Hand Shower to fund LIXIL and UNICEF Projects
December 15, 2018 is a history-making night
for countries like Philippines, India, Indonesia and Thailand as they simultaneously
hold the SHOWER FOR GOOD benefit sale where they raced against the clock
to sell 1000 American Standard GENIE hand showers for the benefit of the disadvantaged
children of the world who no longer have to live without clean water and basic
sanitation. This regional event is a partnership project of LIXIL and UNICEF
through its foundation, MAKE A SPLASH, whose aim is to change the lives of
these children for good and where 100% of all sales proceeds of Shower for Good
will fund its projects.
In Manila, the benefit sale was spurred by
the spirit of sharing that pervades the country during the Christmas holidays.
As the 1000th Genie hand shower was sold, fireworks greeted a delighted
Eastwood Mall Open Park crowd of mall-goers and the invited press who have
enjoyed a stirring chorale fest that had 9 top choirs from the country
serenading them that afternoon and into the early evening. With the help
of student volunteers from various universities, Manila delivered 1000 American
Standard GENIE hand showers sold. Joining Manila were Bangkok and Jakarta who
also sold 1000 Genies each, while Mumbai brought in 448 units sold. 100%
of all sales proceeds were turned over to the attending UNICEF representative
in each country. In Manila, the ceremonial turnover was led by Alpha Ang, LIXIL
Asia Pacific General Manager, Alen Alban, LIXIL Phils. Country Manager, Joralyn
Ong, LIXIL Associate Director- Retail Sales and Trade Marketing, Emily Rose
Besavilla, Marketing Manager of LIXIL, Liza Rachel Cancino, Marketing Director,
Branding and Communications for Asia for Inax and American Standard, to Marga
Uy Baula, Corporate Fundraising Officer of Unicef Philippines.
As Alpha Ang reiterated during the turnover
of donation, " by 2021, LIXIL-UNICEF "Make a Splash" would have
helped 250 million people live healthier, better lives with clean water and
basic sanitation." With so much good done that Saturday of December
15, 2018, he announced to all that he is confident that that goal is
entirely reachable.
American Standard GENIE hand shower is a Red Dot
Design Awardee that utilizes 120 micro sprays that shower its users gently with
Petal pressure. For the one-day only sale, it was sold at 30% discount. In the Philippines, it will
retail at P850.00 pesos, after the one-day only sale.
