SABB sponsors Cancer Children Annual Recreational Festival

The award follows SABB's sponsorship of the highly successful Annual Recreational Festival for Cancer Children.

Mr. Ibrahim Abo-Mouti, Head of Corporate Communications at SABB, said "This event is one of the most important humanitarian initiatives supported by the Bank, to aid cancer patients and help in alleviating their sufferings". He also expressed his thanks and appreciation to the festival organizers and participants, who helped in making this event a success.

Mr. Abo-Mouti emphasized that the Bank's collaboration with charitable societies, stems from SABB's strong sense of its responsibility towards the community, and its firm belief in supporting projects and activities backed by societies such as the Saudi Society for Cancer Patients Care.

"We are proud of our association with organizations that really do make a difference to society in the Kingdom through effective humanitarian and charitable activities. We are keen to enhance our cooperation with such societies."

In recent years, SABB has paid special attention to developing "SABB in the Community Programmes", regularly initiating new programmes to supplement its current community support activities. These include the annual MBA Scheme, which enables Saudis to obtain MBA degrees from the UK, and SABB's annual sponorship of the Chair-in-Finance at KFUPM.

SABB also supports a number of charities - for instance, the School Bag Programme, supervised by the Orphans Charitable Society (Ensan) - and participates in programmes such as the Annual Blood Donation campaign, and the "One Million Clean-up Campaign", an initiative supervised by Riyadh Municipality to clean one million square meters at Al-Thumamah Area in Riyadh.

Additionally, SABB sponsors widows and orphans to perform Omra during the month of Ramadan, and organizes regular participation of its staff in the work of a number of charities.
