Speaking at the activation, Dr Fabian Kasi, Managing Director, Centenary Bank, the run’s lead sponsor and District 9213 Governor Nominee 2025/26, commended the efforts of Rotary Uganda and partners to the cause.
He said, “I want to thank Rotary for inviting us to be part of an engagement that is so dear to us, being a people’s bank. We have come a long journey with Rotary International and continue in this journey through several projects ranging from health, education, environmental preservation, and many other community activities. It is humbling that our bank gets the opportunity to be a key stakeholder in this initiative that is contributing positively to Uganda’s health system.”
In his keynote address, Rotary International Director-Elect Emmanuel Katongole highlighted the essence of collaboration for social good. He said, “Today, we are standing in solidarity with patients to restore hope. This Cancer Run Activation reminds us that when we come together as Rotarians, partners, and citizens, we can raise funds, restore dignity, extend life, and give our brothers and sisters a fighting chance. Let this continue to be our legacy, that we chose to act, to care, and to unite for good.”
Every year, Centenary Bank dedicates 2% of its net profit towards impactful Corporate Social Investment projects that improve education, healthcare, livelihoods, and the environment. This year, the bank has contributed Sh500 million to the Rotary Cancer Run 2025.
