The overwhelming support from their alma mater led NU Pep Squad to donating a portion of their prize winnings to the supertyphoon “Yolanda” (international name: Haiyan) survivors through SM Cares Yolanda Housing Project. This is their way of giving back to the community and helping those who are in need.

SM Cares is committed to building 1,000 houses to help “Yolanda” survivors. These houses are designed to be disaster-resilient with concrete ceilings and plenty of ventilation.
