In support of the vital work of the Walk On Walk Strong (WOWS) Kids Foundation, the BSP Life Group and its partners completed 200 million steps over a span of 70 days, raising $35,000.
The handover of the cheque took place today following a Zumba session at Albert Park at 6am this morning. The event was marked by a sense of accomplishment and shared purpose, as the organizations expressed their gratitude to all those who contributed to this meaningful cause.
On behalf of the Group, Mr Michael Nacola said: “We acknowledge and are deeply thankful for the collaborative spirit shown by the staff of BSP Life, Rooster, Oceania Hospitals, our customers and social media followers that supported this campaign. The donation assists the lives of our little angels battling childhood cancer on a daily basis. They are heroes, and we are honoured to support them in a small way, and what better way to do this than through a Wellness initiative where everybody wins.”
The funds raised will contribute towards providing essential resources, medical assistance, and emotional support to children and families affected by childhood cancer.
