During this pandemic, have you been obsessed with adding things to your cart? For a change, why don't you try adding to your heart?  We are the Hijas Business Organization (HBO) of Sacred Heart School - Hijas de Jesus, a non-profit, non-partisan student organization dedicated to the promotion of business education as a worthwhile endeavor. We proudly present our latest project, “Add to Heart.” This is a virtual business fair with the theme “Shopping For a Cause: Lending a Helping Hand Amidst the Pandemic.” 

The last few years have taught us the importance of family, friends, and our community. So, why should YOU join Add to Heart?

1. SUPPORT LOCAL!!!

Now as the world continues to respond to COVID-19, we are working to do our part by supporting local businesses and donating our profit to greater causes. On November 20, we will be having a virtual business fair where you have the opportunity not only to enjoy and buy new goodies, but also help your fellow community. This serves as a platform for small businesses to advertise their products or services offered, and increase the exposure of not only their goods but also the people behind the company. This allows potential customers, like you, to learn more about the backgrounds of the businesses. 

2. DONATE TO A GREATER CAUSE!!

For every item you purchase from our selected businesses, a portion of the revenue will be donated to improving the lives of our fellow kababayan. HBO is working with Rise Above Foundation Cebu which is a non-profit organization that aims to improve the quality of life of the underprivileged by providing educational opportunities, livelihood training, and health/hygiene programs. The proceeds earned from the event would be given to them as these profits will serve as a contribution to a good cause. If you wish to get to know more about the foundation, you may visit their website through this link: https://riseabove-cebu.org/
