The Thai Red Cross Eye Bank presented a plaque of gratitude to the CP-True group for supporting and promoting eye donation through the "Let Them See Love" programme, now in its 20th consecutive year.

On August 16, 2026, Tetch Bunnag, secretary-general of the Thai Red Cross Society, opened the 2026 Eye Bank Day event and presented the plaque to Charoen Pokphand Group and True Corporation for their role in supporting the eye donation campaign through the "Let Them See Love" initiative, now marking its 20th year. Rungfa Kiartiphon, special projects executive and senior assistant vice president of Charoen Pokphand Group, accepted the award at the Medical Development Building of Chulalongkorn Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society.

The support operates through the "Let Them See Love" programme, which CP and True have run continuously for 20 years to raise awareness about the importance of eye and organ donation and provide new life opportunities for patients awaiting transplants. The campaign operates under the concept of "Give Life... Continue Life" and invites customers and the public to contribute funds year-round to support the eye and organ donation process.

Members of the public can participate in "Give Life... Continue Life" through several channels: donating via the True Money Wallet application with as little as one baht; transferring funds directly to the Eye Bank's savings account ("Eye Bank Thai Red Cross Society", account number 045-231390-2 at Siam Commercial Bank, Thai Red Cross branch); transferring to the Organ Donation Centre's savings account ("Organ Donation Centre Thai Red Cross Society", account number 023-1-25888-7 at Krung Thai Bank, Surawong branch); or using the e-Donation system, which provides double tax deduction benefits by scanning a QR code through mobile banking applications.
