The walk, held during the month of October, united over 20,000 passionate participants in 17 countries in which the bank operates, in a demonstration of their commitment to assist those affected by cancer.
The funds raised through the walk are invested towards the care and support of persons fighting the disease of cancer across the Caribbean. The Walk for the Cure was started in 2012, as part of the bank’s 10th anniversary celebrations.

The major sponsors for the event included Always, Amigoe, Antilliaans Dagblad, Curaçao Ports Authority, Ensure, Extra, HBN Law, Heineken, LBH Group, Listerine, Neutrogena, NuCuraçao Windparken B.V., Splenda and Tampax.
