Nine (9) giant Christmas trees within the Dolefil Cannery compound in Polomolok, South Cotabato were officially lighted last December 7, 2011 in a simple yet very meaningful “Light a Tree, Light a Life” program.
One of the many corporate social responsilbilty program of Dolefil , the Light a Tree, Light a Life is now on its 15th year, it is an inter-division contest divided into two parts, the first part is the fund raising- a race among all 9 divisions of Dolefil wherein Dolefil employees donates funds to purchase items for their identified charities. Dolefil will then tally the total amount raised by each divisions and matches it. The matching fund from the Light a Tree, Light a Life will then be used to finance projects that will benefit their recipient institutions in the region like the St. Lawrence Kalinga Foundation, Inc in Koronadal City, St. Gemma's Orphanage, Home for the Aged, Home for the Children, and the Marcellin Foundation among others.
