Bank of Maldives (BML) has donated MVR 150,000 to Cancer Society - a local non-profit dedicated to creating awareness about cancer and supporting cancer patients.
The donation was made as part of BML’s support for the annual Pink Ribbon Run, an event organized by Cancer Society to increase awareness regarding breast cancer.
The donation was presented by BML’s CEO and MD Tim Sawyer. He met with the team from Cancer Society as well as cancer survivors and patients following the presentation of the donation, during which they shared their inspirational stories of strength, hope and courage in fighting against cancer.
The Pink Ribbon Run this year was held virtually in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and attracted some 700 participants.
BML has been making donations to Cancer Society under its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative since 2016.
