The Caribbean Bottling Company (Bahamas) Ltd. (CBC) is proud to partner with the Zonta Club of New Providence (ZCNP) and Sister Sister Breast Cancer Support Group to provide port-a-caths (ports) and needles for patients requiring cancer treatment. CBC will donate $2,000 towards these much-needed supplies that will directly benefit individuals with medical treatment as they battle cancer. With the high frequency of breast cancer in The Bahamas, CBC understands the corporate responsibility of aiding individuals who are at risk of losing their lives, simply because they are financially unable to obtain the necessities required to receive medical treatment.
“Cancer has become all too familiar in our communities; recognizing the vast number of Bahamian women impacted by breast cancer, it is essential that we do our part to extend assistance to those battling this disease” noted Karla Wells-Lisgaris, Brand Manager at CBC. “Our hope is that we can show those affected, that they are not alone in their fight”.
CBC has traditionally supported other local groups during the month of October. Most recently, purchasing t-shirts for staff to assist with alleviating the cost of chemotherapy treatment for a young Bahamian woman, diagnosed at 25 years old with Stage 3 aggressive breast cancer.
