According to the World Health Organization (WHO), breast cancer is the most common form of the disease. Over 2.2 million women were diagnosed with it in 2020.
Prevention and self-examination are crucial in the fight against breast cancer. The key to spotting irregularities is literally in our hands. We mustn’t ignore lumps or sunken skin on the breast, nipple and close to the armpit, nor changes in skin tone and discharge. Self-examination goes hand in hand with a medical check-up for detection and treatment, which scientific discoveries have made more effective.
Santander lends support for funding for research, patient care, treatment costs and awareness through several initiatives.
At our 2022 AGM, our shareholders supported us in making a donation to Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer (Spanish Cancer Association, or AECC). Also, Santander España teamed up with LaLiga Santander (Spain’s top-flight football league) to run #LevántateLaCamiseta (“Lift up your shirt"), which donated money for every goal scored in the league’s 10th round.
We also ran events for survivors to tell their stories and raise awareness. Patricia Benito, general manager of Grupo Santander’s digital bank, Openbank, sat down with Yolanda Domínguez, head of marketing and communication at the AECC, at the “Pink is more than a colour” event.
We have emblazoned the colour pink on our corporate buildings, logo and in our awareness campaigns to throw extra weight behind stories like Angélica’s.
