Raise For Vision, Race For Change with L’OCCITANE

To raise awareness towards the importance of blindness prevention among Penang citizens, L’OCCITANE MALAYSIA recently hosted the 1st Race for Vision charity fun run in Penang in July 2024, raising funds together with Malaysians to improve the eyecare services in Malaysia.

A humble sum of RM50,000 was donated to St. Nicholas' Home Penang to help B40 communities in need of cataract surgeries.

As the first ever country of the group to host this charity fun run 5th time consecutively, we’ve continued our effort in building awareness towards blindness prevention through another year of Race for Vision despite all the challenges.
