The Supreme Court of Judicature on Wednesday purchased 300 Pinktober bottles from the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT) in support of the company’s cancer awareness initiatives.
Registrar of the Supreme Court, Sueanna Lovell, said “In this way we join the rest of the country and the world in celebrating survivors. This contribution will lend to the advancement of the cause, since all of us have been touched by breast cancer specifically, or by cancer the disease, as a whole; everyone knows someone was has been affected.”
Lovell continued: “The Chancellor of the Judiciary (ag), Chief Justice (ag) and the entire judiciary and staff of the Supreme Court wish to express our profound gratitude to those who are on the frontline of the battle against this dreaded disease and to salute those who are survivors giving inspiration to the rest of us. It is our hope that our small token of support, would in some way, help to advance awareness and treatment of breast cancer in Guyana.”
Diana Gittens, GTT’s Pinktober Coordinator thanked the officials of the Court for their support.
“This means a lot as it brings us even closer to our target of selling 8000 bottles before the end of October. Every purchase of a $1000 Pinktober bottle helps us to save lives,” Gittens said.
This month, GTT has ramped up cancer awareness in Guyana. The company continues to raise funds to support those impacted by cancer and encourages the public to purchase a bottle at any of their retail stores, or online, and to make donations using mmg+ and merchant code 07693.
