“The fact that the march ends at our bank’s headquarters is of unique significance to us. It gives us the opportunity to underscore our steadfast support for Europa Donna and to share the message of this year’s event with our employees and with society as a whole.”
Milica Drakou – Vice Chair of the Board of Directors, Alpha Bank Cyprus
With knowledge that supports and care that embraces—which is this year’s message for the march—we continue to contribute to a cause that concerns us all.
The President of the Republic was also present and announced two new government initiatives.
“This is proof that a small initiative has, over the years, managed to take root and truly make a substantial contribution—not just in words, but in action, by doing what needs to be done.”
Anita Dimitriou – Speaker of the House of Representatives
The references to Stella Kyriakidou are also moving. Her latest health setback prevented her from attending the march.
“But she is with us, with all the strength of her spirit, just as she is in all our thoughts. My dear Stella, today we will walk for you, too.”
