Legacy of Light Village Basketball Court Made Possible Through Sun Life and Beyond Sport with a Special Appearance by Donny Pangilinan

A community in Calauan, Laguna called Legacy of Light Village became the beneficiary of a partnership project of Sun Life Philippines, Sun Life Financial-Philippines Foundation, Inc., and Beyond Sport which is a refurbished basketball court for the community. The village was developed by Sun Life Foundation years ago as a relocation project together with ABS-CBN Foundation and has become a great candidate for the development projects by Sun Life as part of the “Hoops + Health” program. 

The program aims to leverage the power of basketball to encourage physical activity and promote healthier lifestyles by renovating basketball courts across Asia. This PHP 40 million partnership with Beyond Sport will continue to build/renovate facilities like these to provide quality sport centers to different communities in the country.
