First Bank of Nigeria Limited as part of its Corporate Responsibility interventions has partnered with Sebeccly Cancer Care and Support Centre to create awareness about cancer, initiate action amongst women to get screened and provide access to quality cancer care.
FirstBank is supporting the Centre’s Light Lagos Pink Campaign, an annual statewide fundraising campaign to promote breast cancer awareness and raise funds to support breast cancer treatment.
This year’s campaign is taking place on October 10, 2015 at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos. The Light Lagos Pink campaign is the biggest breast cancer event in Nigeria, with a reach of over one million people.
It is anticipated to be the biggest breast cancer awareness event, which will feature over 12,000 people (men and women) wearing pink to form the largest human awareness ribbon.
This is expected to break the current Guinness world record that stands at 6,847 people.
FirstBank staff volunteers have signed up to be part of this event as part of the Bank’s Employee Volunteer Scheme, which allows staff to participate in social responsibility projects.
At FirstBank, Corporate Social Responsibility is an integral element of its corporate culture and the EVS helps to alleviate community development challenges, address pressing social issues and connect the FirstBank Family with the community…
