"BEARY CHRISTMAS" CHARITY PROGRAM
As the Festive Season approaches, Caravelle Saigon, in collaboration with VinaCapital Foundation (VCF), is bringing a heartwarming charitable initiative to life — and we are delighted to invite all HKBAV members to take part in the very first “Beary Christmas” Charity Program.
By adopting a Caravelle Bear for VND 299,000 nett, you will be directly supporting children battling cancer in Vietnam through VCF’s Can-Care/Can-Clover Program. This program provides critical financial assistance, medical treatment, and emotional support to underprivileged pediatric cancer patients, while also raising community awareness and encouraging early detection.
Caravelle Bears are available for adoption at the hotel lobby throughout the festive season. We encourage all HKBAV members to join us in spreading the word by sharing this meaningful initiative within our community.
You can purchase your Teddy Bear at the Gingerbread House, Ground Floor – Caravelle Saigon, or call (+84) 90 690 0523 to bring a Caravelle Bear home.
Let’s come together to make a heartfelt difference this Festive Season!
