October 2024 | Novibet’s Giant Heart Supports the EIG Foundation

Novibet, as part of “Giant Heart”, its social responsibility program, and in recognition of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Novibet made a meaningful donation to the Elena Iliopoulou Giamas Foundation (EIG Foundation). This marks Novibet’s first initiative within the health sector, reinforcing Giant Heart’s mission to improve quality of life and support vulnerable social groups.

Maria Kalapotharakou, Head of Corporate Communications & PR at Novibet, commented: “We are deeply committed to the value of social contribution, particularly in health-related research initiatives. Our collaboration with the Elena Iliopoulou Giamas Foundation allows us to make a substantial impact in scientific progress and to support talented students and researchers in the critical field of cancer treatment and prevention.”

The Elena Iliopoulou Giamas Foundation—Research & Scholarships for Cancer Treatment and Prevention—was established in 2021 to provide scholarships for outstanding scientists pursuing research or doctoral studies focused on cancer treatment and prevention (learn more at www.eig-foundation.com). The donation will be directed to support the needs of students and researchers sponsored by the Foundation, aiming to advance research and empower young scientists in the fight against cancer.

This support is especially significant in October and November, as it raises awareness for two of the most prevalent types of cancer—breast and lung cancer. Spyros Giamas, Founder and President of the Foundation, stated, “Strategic partnerships with companies that share our core values are essential to the growth of the Elena Iliopoulou Giamas Foundation. We are sincerely grateful to Novibet and the Giant Heart initiative for their trust and support. This donation is crucial to our ongoing mission to fund scholarships for doctoral students and researchers working on cancer treatment and prevention.”
