Sept. 16 Event at Shangri-La Makati Raised Funds for Employees Facing Financial Hardship
MANILA, Philippines, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — iQor, a global leader in customer experience business process outsourcing, today announced that iQor Qares, its registered nonprofit charitable organization, raised more than ₱5.8 million (approximately $92,700 USD) at a charity gala held Sept. 16 at Makati Shangri-La, Manila. The funds will assist iQor employees in the Philippines, their families, and their local communities facing financial hardship due to life-altering events such as medical emergencies and natural disasters.
More than 320 guests, including over 120 sponsors and partners, joined the gala alongside members of the iQor community in the Philippines, home to more than 35,000 iQor employees.
“We are extremely fortunate to welcome back so many sponsors who have supported iQor Qares Philippines since our first gala three years ago, while also welcoming new Diamond Elite sponsors to our highest level of support this year,” said Fleurette Navarro, Executive Vice President and Philippines Regional President at iQor and Chair of iQor Qares Philippines. “Together, their generosity and continued commitment allow us to assist even more iQorians and their families during their times of greatest need.”
The gala also drew an extraordinary number of volunteers. Every entertainer who performed was an employee from one of iQor’s 22 sites across the Philippines, volunteering their time, talent and energy to support iQor Qares.
With more than ₱5.8 million raised, the most ever raised at a single iQor Qares gala, the evening’s donations are expected to extend support to over 250 more iQorians and their families in need. That support builds on a growing mission: in 2025 alone, iQor Qares granted more than 1,400 assistance grants to employees in the Philippines, including 741 medical grants, 117 natural disaster grants and 578 grants supporting children, elders and other dependents.
“This fundraiser is an extension of the same spirit that drives everything we do at iQor Qares, showing up for our people during some of the most difficult experiences in their lives,” said Richard Eychner, Chief Culture Officer at iQor and Chair of iQor Qares. “Every dollar raised at this event goes directly toward continuing that support.”
All net proceeds from the gala will fund iQor Qares grants for Philippines’ employees in need. For more information or to donate, visit iQorQares.com.
