Melco, operator of Cyprus Casinos (C2) and the upcoming integrated resort City of Dreams Mediterranean, the only licensed casinos in Cyprus, demonstrates its continuous commitment to the local community by supporting vulnerable groups. Approximately 200 Melco volunteers engaged in a series of activities aimed at helping young people over the Christmas holidays, benefiting nearly 300 local children.
Initiatives included the donation of electronic equipment and supplies to Apostolos Loukas Special School. The Company also embraced the “No Child Without a Present This Year” campaign in cooperation with Efimerida Lemesos and various other local stakeholders. Melco employees actively engaged in this initiative by sharing toys, clothes and electronics. In addition, the Company collaborated with several schools in the Zakaki area to ensure all students would receive presents during this challenging period.
Andreas Demetriades, President of Zakaki community said, “The people of Zakaki are grateful to Melco and its employees for their kindness to the children of our community. The generously donated Christmas gifts were distributed to families with children of all ages, giving them great joy and hope amidst these challenging times. The community is appreciative of Melco’s continued and faithful support.”
Grant Johnson, Property General Manager of City of Dreams Mediterranean and Cyprus Casinos, stated, “Melco is a committed partner of Cyprus’ local society and we aim to create positive impact on all levels. We pride ourselves in being responsible corporate citizens and, as such, remain dedicated to investing in the development of the Cyprus economy while actively supporting local communities. The same values inspire our colleagues to volunteer their time to good causes, and we are very proud of their high level of engagement in CSR activities, especially since Melco is one of the country’s largest employers”.
To engage and reunite colleagues for the festive season, the Melco Human Resources department designed and implemented a series of activities, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere for employees who have been set apart due to COVID-19-related social distancing measures. More than 300 Cyprus Casinos employees gathered to enjoy the first-ever “C2 Vision Talent Show” over two evenings. Furthermore, leveraging the power of social media, the #C2inChristmasMood Instagram Challenge was introduced and enthusiastically embraced by the C2 team, sparking boundless creativity.
