BANK South Pacific Financial Group Ltd (BSP) staff of its asset management and lending support business unit jointly sponsored the bank’s pink ribbon fundraising raffle draw, which saw K11,500 raised for the PNG Cancer Foundation (PNGCF).
The team led by relieving head of asset management Moah Sevua and recovery supervisor Keve Gui, presented the cheque to PNG Cancer Foundation programmes coordinator Loyla Matthew and marketing coordinator Deborah Steven on Friday.
Sevua said the “Pinktober” fundraiser has been an annual event in creating awareness within the bank on cancers affecting women and supporting awareness programmes undertaken by the PNGCF.
“We raised more this year and sincerely thank all staff who acknowledged the worthy cause in supporting the PNGCF by purchasing tickets,” he said.
“Each staff is part of a community and we are pleased to be giving back through this donation in assisting the PNGCF continue its efforts in terms of raising awareness on primary prevention and early detection of cancers.”
Matthew said they were grateful that BSP continued to support the PNG Cancer Foundation and showed good faith every October in backing the “Pinktober” women’s health awareness campaign.
“The support has assisted the foundation to raise women’s cancer awareness and to push the important messages of making healthy lifestyle choices and early detection through the various outreach programmes.”
