CROCO Motors has shown dedication to community health and well-being by participating in a Pink Day cancer awareness campaign at St John’s College, in conjunction with the Ford brand.
Held on July 20, the event aimed to raise cancer awareness, a critical health issue affecting the nation with over 5 000 new cancer diagnoses and more than 1 500 deaths annually.
Cancer remains a major cause of illness and death in the country.
Croco Motors Group head of marketing and customer experience Mr Tashinga Gomera said they considered health and wellness an essential pillar in promoting sustainability.
“Supporting cancer awareness has a profound impact on individuals, families and society as a whole. It contributes to better health outcomes, fosters community support, and drives progress in the fight against cancer.”
Croco Motors supported the event by showcasing vehicles, emphasising the company’s dedication to corporate social responsibility.
Mr Chris Fourie, the sports director for St John’s College, highlighted that the Pink Day aimed “to create awareness about cancer and to encourage communities to be grateful for life and to be service-oriented to those in need”.
Cancer represents a growing health challenge in Zimbabwe, driven by factors such as unhealthy lifestyle choices and an ageing population.
Croco Motors said as cancer cases continued to increase, there was a pressing need for strong awareness and education campaigns, urging other organisations to unite in the battle against cancer.
