GLOWFUX Marks 9 Years Of Impact, Unveils Bigger Vision For Child Welfare At 2025 Charity Concert

The GLOWFUX Charity Concert has once again reaffirmed its commitment to humanity and child-centred impact as it successfully hosted its 9th annual edition in Lagos, closing the year 2025 on a high note of compassion, joy, and renewed purpose.

The event, themed “Embracing Humanity, Enriching Lives,” held at the Anthony Village Youth Centre, Adebayo Mokuolu Street, Anthony Village, Lagos State, and drew an impressive gathering of children, parents, guardians, partners, volunteers, and key stakeholders in the humanitarian and creative space.

Speaking at the event, the founder and initiator of the GLOWFUX Charity Concert, Mr. Olubode Mac Oserinde, reflected on the project’s humble beginnings and its steady growth over the past nine years.

According to him, GLOWFUX began as a simple but deeply intentional idea to bring joy to children from orphanages during the festive season.

“Nine years ago, GLOWFUX was just a simple idea – a desire to bring joy to children from orphanages during the festive season. We had no crowd, no sponsors, no platforms. All we had was a heart that refused to do nothing,” he said.

He recalled that the maiden edition was quietly held in an orphanage, describing it as the project’s “first altar of love,” before the initiative gradually expanded to venues such as cinemas, Elegushi Beach, the National Museum, and now the Anthony Village Youth Centre – largely through goodwill and minimal venue costs.

Mr. Oserinde also used the occasion to unveil a new chapter in the GLOWFUX journey, announcing that from 2026, the Bundle of Hope Child Care and Empowerment Foundation, under the leadership of Professor Abigail Ogwezzy as Chairman, will fully oversee the project and others.

He explained that this transition would allow GLOWFUX to scale beyond an annual concert into broader child-focused interventions, including orphanage and child support programmes, rehabilitation outreach, skill development for vulnerable children and youth, support for street-displaced children, and educational transformation initiatives.

“Next year will mark our tenth anniversary of love, hope, laughter, miracles, and all things positive,” he added.

One of the major highlights of the 2025 edition was the induction of new GLOWFUX Young Ambassadors, including Amb. Jamal Oba, Amb. Moremi Oba, Amb. Anuoluwapo Adedeji (Anu D Foto Girl), and Amb. Akorede Lawal (Akorede Bobo), reinforcing the project’s commitment to nurturing young voices as advocates for humanity.

The event also featured the presentation of the GLOWFUX Hall of Charity Awards, recognising outstanding contributions to humanity. Award recipients included Dr. Adebola Ismail Akindele of Courteville Business Solutions Plc, who was honoured as GLOWFUX Man of the Year 2025; HRH Olori Amb. Dr. Omolara Fashola-MacGregory, recipient of GLOWFUX Woman of the Year 2025; SIFAX Group, awarded GLOWFUX Socially Responsible Organisation of the Year 2025; and Dream Nurture Initiative, named GLOWFUX NGO of the Year 2025.

Adding colour to the celebration was a special entertainment and games session sponsored by Peak Milk, alongside captivating performances by kid entertainers such as Dom Sax, Chief Adigun Olowe, and Akorede Bobo. Certificates of appreciation were also presented to supporting brands and volunteers in recognition of their contributions.

Dignitaries present at the event included the Mother of the Day, Yeni Kuti; the Father of the Day, Barrister Tunji Bamishigbin; Rotarian Lanre Adedoyin, District Governor of Rotary International District 9112 (represented by Rotarian Omotunde Olaleye, District Executive Secretary); and His Excellency, Amb. Dr. Oluwasegun Mutair Musa (represented by Dr. Olusegun Awe-Obe).

The celebration further featured engaging games and competitions for both children and adults, specially dedicated to brands such as Peak Milk, Beloxxi Biscuits, Gala, 7UP Bottling Company, Fan Milk, Dettol, and others.

Children from 12 beneficiary needy homes across Lagos State, numbering about 500, were accorded VIP treatment throughout the event, and each of the homes went home with gift items made possible through the generosity of the donor public and brand partners including Hands Lifting Hearts, 7UP Bottling Company, and Fan Milk Plc.

The 9th edition of GLOWFUX once again reinforced the project’s evolving legacy – not just as a festive charity concert, but as a growing platform for sustainable child-focused impact and social transformation.
