September Month of Sports

ABN AMRO Foundation sounds gong for September Month of Sports 2016

ABN AMRO Foundation, part of the Euronext listed ABN AMRO (ticker symbol: ABN) has officially dubbed September the Month of Sports for ‘Winning Together’. ABN AMRO Foundation director Ernst Boekhorst opens the theme month by sounding the gong in the presence of several social organizations that will be collaborating with ABN AMRO’s employees.

The theme for the month, ‘Winning Together’, ties in with the bank’s decision to have Sponsoring and Foundation focus its activities on talent, as part of ‘Partner of the Future’. The entire month of September, over 700 employees will put in their best efforts as volunteers, taking part in sporting activities for special groups at various locations across the country.

Sports are all about passion, coping with disappointment and limitations, and perseverance. It is also about training, strength and opportunities, and many people could do with a little help in this respect. Examples of initiatives include a football clinic at Ajax for mentally disabled youngsters, attending an Ajax match with blind and visually handicapped people, a sports day for autistic youngsters and a golf clinic for children.
