September 19 marked a momentous day for the Tan family as the University of Guam (UOG) renamed its English and Communication Building as the “Tan Lam Pek Kim English and Communication Building” in honor of the matriarch of the Tan family.
The naming of the building comes from the long time support of the Tan family to the University and its foundation. Last November 2012, the Tan Siu Lin Foundation became the first one-million dollar donor to the UOG 60th Anniversary Capital Campaign.
Team members from Tan Holdings and its Strategic Business Units; CTSI Logistics Guam, Fiesta Resort Guam, Century Plaza, Blue Bay Petroleum, Cosmos Distributing, Tango Theaters, D&Q, and Asia Pacific Airlines, raised their banners as they help to fight Cancer in Relay for Life 2013, held last May 24 at Mangilao, Guam.
The annual event aims to raise funds for the American Cancer Society for research and treatment of the disease. The 12-hour event also pays tribute to cancer survivors as well as giving honor to those who lost their battles.
Relay for Life 2013 raised half a million dollars; thanks to the support and efforts of the 78 teams and 594 individuals who participated.
