Riyadh Gov. Prince Faisal bin Bandar has honored Riyad Bank for its sponsorship of the 8th annual national campaign — Discover the Secret — for raising awareness of breast cancer. The prince also commended the bank for its partnership in the campaign, in the presence of Princess Hayfa Faisal Abdulaziz, chairman of Zahra Breast Cancer Association.

The governor handed over the honorary shield to Abeer Al-Shaikh, SVP/ladies banking department manager, in the presence of Mohammad Al-Rabeah, EVP of marketing and general director of community services programs at Riyad Bank.

Al-Rabeah extended his thanks and gratitude to the governor and commented that the bank is proud of being a strategic partner to facilitate the breast cancer awareness campaign. He added that the bank is keen to offer unlimited support to enhance the efforts in delivering the campaign message.

Riyad bank is considered one of the main sponsors of the campaign and one of the strategic partners of Zahrah Breast Cancer Association for 8 years in a row.

The bank extended all efforts to deliver the campaign’s objectives and the message that aims at raising awareness levels about the importance of early examination of breast cancer among the ladies, which will in turn reduce the number of patients.

Al-Shaikh confirmed that the bank’s eagerness to continue the sponsorship of the campaign for the 8th year came from its concern about the Saudi woman and her role in developing society.

She clarified that the bank’s sponsorship comprised several activities and events, including the broadcasting of awareness messages through its social media channels, mainly Facebook and Twitter, as well as the distribution of brochures at the branches.

At the same time, the female staff wore a pink ribbon to express moral support for women with breast cancer.
