Multi-brand sports retailer Toby’s Sports reaches out to Tahanang Walang Hagdanan to provide its residents sports equipment and apparel.
Toby Claudio, president of Quorum International Inc., the parent company of Toby’s Sports, recently met with members of TWH and the group talked about their individual stories and bonded over their shared love for sports.
“Toby’s Sports believes in giving everyone a chance to play sports and live an active lifestyle, no matter their background. And I’m really so happy that the TWH team sees the value that sports can bring to their amazing community,” said Claudio.
Through its CSR arm, the Toby’s Youth Sports Foundation, the retailer donated a variety of sports equipment, footwear, apparel, and a Ping Pong Table that brought so much delight to the TWH community.
