The bank’s sponsorship reflects its commitment and active dedication towards its young Kuwaiti talents as well as its belief that Al Qallaf’s talent has defied all odds and has led him to win top accolades at international championships. With just over six months to go until the big event, training for Al Qallaf will soon commence with regular boot camps in Athens, Greece and Kuwait City, Kuwait during the months of March and April 2016 and following that in Pennsylvania, USA during September 2016 to gear up for the championship in October.
It is worthy to note that Al Qallaf participated in more than 70 international tournaments during his tremendous 30 years long career, bagging more than 40 gold medals and a sword of honor for being the best player in the world through his participation in international championships along with receiving 26 gold medals during his participation in international championships in the United States.
Touching people’s lives is a philosophy that the bank strives to implement by supporting local talents that contribute positively to the society as a whole. As a firm believer of the ability of local athletes, Burgan Bank spared no effort in helping these Kuwaiti talents to the local community. Burgan Bank’s support to this initiative falls under its recently launched full-fledged community program entitled ‘ENGAGE’ - Together to be the change. This program sheds light on important aspects affecting every segment of the society by promoting social welfare through educational, cultural, social and health initiatives. Burgan Bank’s approach to ‘ENGAGE’ begins with a vital principle that as a Kuwaiti financial institution, its conduct and policies should be aligned with the needs and interests of the Kuwaiti society
