PNG Cancer Foundation Executive Manager Ms Priscillar Napoleon acknowledged BSP for the continued support saying, “PNGCF is grateful that BSP continues to support and show good faith since 2019 for the foundation's core activities under cancer awareness, particularly the Trupela Man Outreach Program and the annual Pinktober Women's Health Awareness campaign in October. We recognise BSP as a champion-advocate in helping us to build a bolder cancer prevention campaign in PNG.”

“This year, BSP’s support will assist the foundation to conduct its schedule of the Trupela Man program which will include two public events and one school-based program within the next 12 months. The TMOPEP promotes our Mausgras campaign, usually observed throughout November each year, with the aim of normalising the conversation of men's health and cancer awareness guided by the important message of making healthy lifestyle choices including the commitment to regular health checkups. Our awareness campaigns are backed by the WHO's finding that up to one-third of cancer cases can be prevented through healthier lifestyle choices,” she added.

BSP’s support to the PNGCF’s Trupla Man Outreach Prevention & Education Program is not only limited to the program but nonetheless, BSP staff annually supported PNGCF’s annual programs like the Women’s Health Awareness Campaign - “Pinktober” that runs yearly in the month of October and also through fundraising breakfasts and wearing pink in the month of October to raise awareness on Cancer. The other support includes the Movember - Men’s Cancer Awareness Campaign.
