Good Corporate Citizen Award 2006

Gold award

Michele Kwok Executive Director Sharity Greetings (M) Sdn Bhd

Since its inception in 1995, Sharity has been touched by the silent, delicate strength shown by the less fortunate, by children with emotional and physical scars, by the dedication of people who fight to conserve the environment, by those suffering from cancer, by loving parents struggling to raise a mentally-challenged child. As Malaysia’s only home-grown independent fundraiser, Sharity Greetings has grown from being a well-known brand in the festive greeting card industry to being a trusted service provider in creative fundraising solutions. Sharity donates 25% of all net purchases of greeting cards to their four deserving charity partners: Majlis Kanser Nasional; World Wide Fund for Nature Malaysia; Kiwanis Down Syndrome; and Shelter Home for Children.
