Panama City, February 17, 2018
Copa Airlines is gratified by the success of the 7th annual Copa Tech Ops Golf Tournament. The tournament’s primary aim is to raise funds for non-profit organizations, supporting a variety of programs that positively impact the lives of children, adolescents, and adults in Panama.
Ahmad Zamany, Vice President of Technical Operations for Copa Airlines, noted that more than 80 companies in the aviation industry came together to make this tournament possible for the seventh time. More than 70 volunteers from Copa Airlines also contributed their effort and commitment. “Thanks to them, we have been able to improve the quality of life of more Panamanians, year after year, by supporting associations and organizations with our contributions as a socially-responsible corporate citizen of Panama,” he said.
In 2017, the golf tournament raised a total of $332,000. Of that total, $50,000 was donated to the Centro de Alcance Positivo Por Mi Barrio [Positive Outreach Center for My Neighborhood] in the district of 24 de Diciembre, benefiting children, adolescents, and adults living in that area. Another $50,000 was donated to ASONAPAQ, in support of better health and quality of life for patients at the Instituto Oncológico Nacional [National Cancer Institute] and their family members.
In 2017, Copa Airlines also donated $32,000 to the Fátima parish in the neighborhood of El Chorrillo, as well as $10,000 to Fundación Jesús Luz de Oportunidades. In addition, the Nutre Hogar organization received a donation of $20,000. The funds will benefit more than 3,000 children, through the organization’s programs for preventing and treating malnutrition among the communities of the Ngäbe-Buglé indigenous people. Copa Airlines allocates all of the funds to further its social responsibility activities, supporting the sustainable development of the communities that the airline serves.
In his remarks on this important event, Zamany said, “We are proud to be both a multinational company and a Panamanian company, and we will always remain committed to supporting the communities that need it most and helping to improve their quality of life. This tournament is the perfect opportunity for Copa Airlines to engage our partners in our corporate social responsibility efforts. This undertaking is a success thanks to our team of volunteers, who are an essential part of every project.”
As part of its commitment to sustainable development in Panama, Copa Airlines implements a variety of public-service initiatives. The primary aim of these initiatives is to have a direct impact on improving the communities that need it most.
