Batelco Donates BD 15,000

Batelco has announced its Platinum Sponsorship of the American Women’s Association (AWA) Cherry Tree Trot 2010, which will take place at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) in November 2010.

Batelco Public Relations Manager Osama Al Saad presented the BD15,000 cheque to AWA Cherry Tree Trot President Mona Omar at Batelco’s Hamala Headquarters recently. In pledging BD15,000 towards the event, Batelco has reaffirmed its commitment to assisting local charitable organisations to carry out their good works in the community.

Batelco Group GM Media & Government Relations Ahmed Al Janahi said that Batelco is delighted once again to make a significant contribution to this worthwhile event.

“We are confident that the AWA will do a great job in allocating much needed financial aid to scores of Bahraini charities,” he said.

“The Cherry Tree Trot always draws huge numbers of Bahrain’s residents of all ages and nationalities and we at Batelco are looking forward once again to being central supporters and participants of this popular event,” he added.

“The AWA is proud to be the only society in the Kingdom of Bahrain that organizes an event such as the Cherry Tree Trot that includes everyone young and old of all nationalities whether they are able bodied or disabled,” said Mrs Omar following the cheque presentation.

“We greatly appreciate Batelco’s support which is very beneficial to the success of the Cherry Tree Trot. Without the support of companies such as Batelco it would be impossible for our committee to contribute so generously to so many of Bahrain’s worthwhile charities.”
