During the cancer awareness months for PINKtober and Movember, The Fiji Development Bank (FDB) successfully fundraised $5,000 in support for those battling with cancer. The raised funds were then matched dollar-for-dollar by FDB and a cheque for $10,000 was presented to The Fiji Cancer Society.
This initiative was organised by the Bank’s Sports & Social Club Committee and received enthusiastic participation by the Board, Management and Staff.
FDB CEO, Mr. Saud Minam congratulated the team’s efforts to this worthwhile cause as part of the Bank’s corporate social responsibility. He also thanked the FDB Board for their generosity.
“Collaboration is one of FDB’s core values and through activities such as this, we foster a culture of giving back to our communities. It’s especially rewarding to work with organisations such as The Fiji Cancer Society, who do so much to provide assistance and support to all Fijians that are sadly facing the challenges posed by cancer.”
He added that, “As we look ahead, we’re also exploring other opportunities to further collaborate with The Fiji Cancer Society and one substantive way is through volunteering.”
