Airtel has joined a host of celebrities to raise funds in support of the company’s employee driven initiative dubbed ‘Airtel Catwalk for Charity’ in support of breast cancer awareness.
The show was the climax of a month-long campaign for breast cancer awareness graced by celebrities.
Hannah Agbozo, Legal and Corporate Affairs Director, Airtel, stated, “Today is a climax of a month-long engagement activity driven by our employees to raise awareness and funds in support of breast cancer education and treatment.”
She said the Airtel team was excited to have the celebrities joining the charity show, adding, “For us, this means a lot – it means that they care about this cause as much as we do at Airtel. As the most loved telecom brand, supporting causes that make the most impact in our communities is what we do.”
Ms Abgozo said the Airtel brand was making a change in the daily lives of many through its commitment to creating awareness and combating breast cancer.
She, however, stated that there was still a lot to be done and “we encourage many more people to join us for this truly worthy cause.”
Last year, Airtel Ghana supported the Sweden Ghana Medical Cancer Foundation and the Judith Ellen Awuah Darko Foundation with funds raised through employee donations.
This year’s event saw Airtel employees embarking on a social media campaign dubbed #AirtelCares; a-call-to-action by employees for customers and Ghanaians in general to be assertive in the awareness and prevention of breast cancer in Ghana.
