Melissa Henson, Chief Marketing Officer of AIA Philippines who also oversees its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts, shared: “As a company driven by our Purpose of helping people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives, we at AIA believe women’s health deserves special attention, hence our partnership with ICanServe Foundation. By supporting this charity match, we hope to raise awareness, inspire action, and contribute to the fight against breast cancer. As the match is happening in March, this initiative is especially significant as it coincides with the celebration of International Women’s Month.”
“We’re proud to partner with the AIA Group and AIA Philippines to support the ICanServe Foundation,” Donna-Maria Cullen, Executive Director, Tottenham Hotspur and Trustee of the Club’s Foundation, said. “Through our efforts, we hope to inspire more teams and people to contribute to the valiant fight against breast cancer.”
