On occasion of celebrating 100 years of doing business in the country, the Corripio Family Group Foundation donated RD$1 million each to 100 Dominican non-profits during an event called “A Shared Century 1917-2017”. Vice President Margarita Cedeño was present.
The president of the entity, José Luis Corripio Estrada (Pepín), a Spanish immigrant, in his keynote speech expressed gratitude for the land that opened doors to his predecessors and gave them the privilege of being Dominicans and working to see their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren become one with Dominican society.
In the event staged at the National Theater, the non-profits were honored for their solidarity and contributions to helping others in the country. The groups were chosen in 32 provinces of the Dominican Republic and the National District.
Among the non-profits receiving the RD$1 million were: Cruz Jiminián, Francina Hungría, Politécnico Loyola, Queens of the Caribbean volleyball team, Plan Sierra, and Grupo Jaragua.
Corripio Estrada and his wife Ana María Alonso delivered the checks to the winners in the South and East region, while their children and sons in laws delivered the rest of the donations.
