BisB sponsors 'Smile' ceremony celebrating 53 brave childhood cancer survivors
Fatema AlAlawi, Chief Executive Officer of BisB, stated: 'Community engagement is a core pillar of our strategic vision at BisB. We are proud to be part of this inspiring initiative that brings hope and joy to the lives of these young heroes and their families. Our partnership with the Smile initiative is a testament to our continued commitment to social responsibility and our support for programs that enhance individual wellbeing and contribute to the betterment of society.'
Sabah Al Zayani, Chairman of the Bahrain Future Society for Youth, commented: 'We are proud to collaborate with Bahrain Islamic Bank(BisB) in supporting this meaningful initiative that celebrates the strength and perseverance of children who have overcome cancer. The Brave Champions program reflects our shared commitment to providing comprehensive psychological and social support to survivors and their families, helping them reintegrate into daily life with renewed confidence and optimism.'
BisB has recently formalized a strategic partnership with the 'Smile' initiative through a collaboration agreement designed to launch targeted programs that support young cancer survivors. This ceremony stands as a meaningful outcome of that partnership, reflecting the powerful impact of collaboration between civil society organizations and the private sector in advancing humanitarian efforts and fostering a culture of hope, resilience, and social solidarity across the Kingdom.
