Calamatta Cuschieri has joined the Pink October movement to help in the fight against breast Cancer. Throughout the month of October, the company will be organising a series of events to help raise funds for this cause. The company will also be matching the amount raised from the events and therefore doubling the total amount of proceeds raised. All proceeds will be used for the purchasing of medical equipment that will further enhance breast cancer treatment.

Alan Cuschieri, Group Co-CEO at Calamatta Cuschieri commented on the company’s Corporate social responsibility initiatives, “Calamatta Cuschieri is committed to giving back to our communities by also supporting organisations whose shared goal is to improve people’s lives. As the CC Group continues to develop, we continue to increase our efforts and contribution through initiatives that are beneficial to the society.”

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and one of the leading causes of cancer related death in women above the age of 30 in Malta. If breast cancer is detected in its early stages however, it can be successfully treated. Those who wish to donate for the cause can visit www.pinkoctober.support.
