In hopes of being able to support and help poor but deserving students to receive free education from the La Verdad Christian College’s free scholarship program, celebrities and government officials have expressed their commitment to join Sing and Shoot charity event this March.

The Sing and Shoot event will showcase the singing talent and basketball skills of personalities from the entertainment industry, government offices, the Philippine National Police, and the Supreme Court.

This upcoming charity event follows last January’s Unity Run, which was acclaimed as the world’s largest footrace event where more than 300,000 runners all over the country participated. Other benefit events held for the education projects of Kuya Daniel Razon through UNTV include the PBA All-Stars Match-for-a-Cause, Isang Araw Lang Takbo para sa Libreng Kolehiyo, and Hoopsters: Meet The Legends.

According to organizers, joining the public servants’ team are Congressmen Juan Edgardo Angara, Lord Allan Jay Velasco, Sherwin Tugna, Jonathan Yambao, Scott Davies Lanete, M.D., Alfredo Garbin, Jr., Sigfrido Tinga, Romeo Jalosjos, Jr., Niel Tupas, Jr., and Erin (Eric) Tanada.

Proceeds will help finance the free tuition, meals, uniforms, lodging, and books of the college scholars from both Apalit and Caloocan branches.

For academic year 2011-2012, La Verdad supports the free education of at least 720 grade school, high school, and college students in the Philippines and 112 pupils in Liberia and Ghana, Africa.

La Verdad Christian School (LVCS) and La Verdad Christian College (LVCC) were founded by its president emeritus, Bro. Eli Soriano. Kuya Daniel is the president and chairman of the institutions.

Sing and Shoot will be held on March 19, 7:00 p.m at Smart-Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. (Words by Hazel Chavez-David; Editing by Jane Abao)
