Duty Free Americas parent company Falic Group has announced a $200,000 donation to support humanitarian relief efforts for communities affected by the October 9th earthquake in Panama.
The announcement was made in the presence of Panama City Mayor Mayer Mizrachi, Leon Falic, President of Falic Group, and Dov and Miro Falic, Vice Presidents of Falic Group.
Falic Group’s $200,000 donation will support earthquake relief efforts across Panama. Of this, $100,000 will go towards Mayor Mizrachi’s “Chantin pa’ la gente” initiative, in partnership with the Omar Alfano Foundation, to build and equip temporary homes for families affected by the earthquake. A further $75,000 will contribute to broader relief efforts for communities affected by the earthquake across Panama, while $25,000 will support the community of Colón, home to Falic Group’s distribution centers.
“Panama is our home, and we are proud to stand alongside its people during this difficult time. For 25 years, we have built our business here, raised our families and developed deep roots in the country. We feel a strong responsibility to support the communities that have welcomed us and helped us grow. We hope this contribution will provide meaningful assistance to those affected by the earthquake as Panama begins to recover,” said Leon Falic, President of Falic Group.
Panama is Falic Group’s global headquarters and has been home to the company for 25 years. With more than 2,000 employees in the country, Falic Group has deep roots in Panama and remains committed to its people, communities, and future.
