The 9th edition of the GLOWFUX Charity Concert once again demonstrated its growing influence as a major humanitarian and family-focused event in Lagos, recording a remarkable turnout of over 500 children and about 700 adults at the Anthony Village Youth Centre, Adebayo Mokuolu Street, Anthony Village, Lagos State.

The annual charity concert, themed: “Embracing Humanity, Enriching Lives,” brought together children from needy homes, families, corporate brands, volunteers, entertainers, and development stakeholders in a vibrant celebration that combined compassion, entertainment, and purposeful social engagement.

Produced by Fanafillit Integrated Concepts, the 2025 edition of GLOWFUX reinforced its evolution from a modest charitable initiative into a well-coordinated, large-scale platform for child welfare, corporate social responsibility, and community impact.

The founder and initiator of the annual project, Olubode Mac Oserinde, reflected on the nine-year journey of GLOWFUX.

Oserinde said the initiative began as a simple act of love for children in orphanages and has steadily grown into a widely supported humanitarian movement.

He recounted how the project progressed from quiet outreaches in orphanage homes to hosting events at venues such as cinemas, Elegushi Beach, National Museum, and now the Anthony Village Youth Centre, largely sustained by goodwill and partnerships rather than commercial influence.

He also disclosed that from 2026, the Bundle of Hope Child Care and Empowerment Foundation, under the leadership of Professor Abigail Ogwezzy as Chairman, will take full oversight of GLOWFUX, expanding its scope to include structured orphanage support, rehabilitation outreach, skill development for vulnerable children and youth, street-child interventions, and educational empowerment initiatives.

A major highlight of the event was the induction of new GLOWFUX Young Ambassadors, including Ambassador Jamal Oba, Ambassador Moremi Oba, Ambassador Anuoluwapo Adedeji (Anu D Foto Girl), and Ambassador Akorede Lawal (Akorede Bobo), further strengthening the project’s child-led advocacy framework.

The concert was expertly anchored by the energetic duo of MC Luwy and Coyman CFR, while the GLOWFUX Carpet Session, which ran continuously throughout the event, was hosted by Lizzy Oluwatomisin, Ronú Iji, and Isabella, offering guests uninterrupted opportunities for interviews, engagements, and memorable interactions.

The event also featured the presentation of the GLOWFUX Hall of Charity Awards, honouring individuals and organisations making outstanding humanitarian contributions.

Honourees included Dr. Adebola Ismail Akindele of Courteville Business Solutions Plc as GLOWFUX Man of the Year 2025; Dr. Omolara Fashola-MacGregory as GLOWFUX Woman of the Year 2025; SIFAX Group, recipient of GLOWFUX Socially Responsible Organisation of the Year 2025; and Dream Nurture Initiative, awarded GLOWFUX NGO of the Year 2025.

Entertainment at the event featured captivating performances by kid entertainers such as Dom Sax, Chief Adigun Olowe, and Akorede Bobo.

Anticipation was high for a performance by superstar saxophonist, Temilayo Abodunrin.

However, she was unable to attend due to flight cancellations.

Her management reassured the organisers and audience of their commitment to ensuring that Abodunrin does not miss future editions of GLOWFUX.

One of the standout elements of the 2025 edition was the organisers’ deliberate approach to brand appreciation, as games and competitions were uniquely designed around each supporting brand to acknowledge their contributions.

Brands celebrated through these engagements included Peak Milk, Beloxxi Biscuits, Gala, 7UP Bottling Company, Fan Milk, Dettol, and others.

Peak Milk, in particular, added colour and warmth to the event ambience with an eye-catching brand setup and was given a special session to anchor exciting games for both children and adults, during which numerous gift items were won.

The brand further delighted guests by providing freshly made waffles to all and sundry throughout the duration of the event, reinforcing its strong presence and emotional connection with attendees.

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

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

With its growing scale, structured vision, and strong brand-community synergy, GLOWFUX Charity Concert 9.0 once again affirmed its place as a purposeful platform that extends beyond a one-day celebration into a sustained commitment to enriching lives and embracing humanity.
