Employees of Credit Agricole raised money for Custodiol for little patients of Amosov National Institute

As part of the New Year’s charity initiative, employees of the bank raised almost UAH 57000. With this money, the bank supported by “Your support” Charity Fund purchased Custodiol for little patients of Amosov National Institute of cardiovascular surgery. This medication is extremely necessary – it “preserves” heart during the surgery.

The charity support was accomplished thanks to the good New Year’s tradition of Board Members of Credit Agricole who, by their example, show how important doing good deeds is.

“It has been the second year in a row that Board Members hold fundraiser auction, where they offer their own original lots. In order to participate in a draw of wished-for lots, employees had to donate to “Custodiol from Credit Agricole” campaign. And as soon as the situation with quarantine restrictions allows it, the winners will receive their prizes: they will ride wakesurf board and quad bikes, play golf, have a piano lesson, and will try many more activities in the company of top managers of the bank”, said Viktoriia Torianyk, Head of PR and Internal Communications Division of Credit Agricole Bank. “This time, we managed to raise even more than we expected – 112% of the planned amount. We are sincerely happy that more and more people join to these good deeds and share values of corporate culture of the bank. Of course, by supporting all Credit Agricole charity projects, top managers of the bank significantly contribute to the development of social awareness.” 

It is worth mentioning that the bank’s team implements charity initiatives by its own efforts through  fundraising for a good deeds, helping orphanages and participating in Donor Days.
