- The entity distributes a specific endowment to manage the disease after mastectomy
- Fundación Cepsa checks the association's project in Campo de Gibraltar
The program is aimed at breast cancer patients in Campo de Gibraltar, who are provided with a backpack with specific medical material and equipment to help them manage the disease after mastectomy surgery. After winning the Social Value Award and since the project's beginning in January, they have distributed more than 70 pink backpacks and the Bandera Rosa association continues in this endeavor, which has expressed its satisfaction at being able to carry out this initiative thanks to the support of Fundación Cepsa. The head of Fundación Cepsa in the Campo de Gibraltar, Estrella Blanco, visited the facilities of Bandera Rosa in Algeciras, hand in hand with those responsible for the entity. Blanco highlighted "the great work that Bandera Rosa does to support these women at such a difficult time in their lives, especially considering that this is medical support that they need but is a high cost that many households cannot afford."
