Over $75,000 in 15 Years: ARMTEK’s Remarkable Charitable Journey
Celebrating 28 Years of Business and 15 Years of Philanthropy
On September 2nd, ARMTEK Group celebrated a dual milestone: 28 years of business excellence and 15 years of dedicated charitable work. Over the past decade and a half, the company has donated more than $75,000 to various organizations, including charities and healthcare institutions.
ARMTEK Group: A Legacy of Business and Philanthropy
Founded in 1995, ARMTEK Group has established itself as a leader in the wholesale and retail trade of auto parts, consumables, and accessories for cars and trucks. Alongside its business growth, the company has nurtured a strong tradition of philanthropy, making it an integral part of its corporate philosophy.
Partnership with the International Charity Fund “Chance”
ARMTEK Group’s primary partner in its charitable endeavors is the International Charity Fund “Chance”. The company has donated over $56,000 to support children in need of expensive medical treatments that are not covered by budget funds.
Charity as a Corporate Philosophy
Dmitry Ananyev, the First Deputy General Director of ARMTEK Group, shared his views on the importance of charitable activities:
“We believe that charitable activities are essential not only for the recipients but also for the organization itself. For 15 years, ARMTEK has been actively involved in various charitable projects. Since 2009, we have been consistently supporting the International Charity Fund ‘Chance’ and its wards—children who need medical treatment that cannot be provided through budget funds. We strive to demonstrate through our actions that everyone can contribute to good deeds, and even small contributions can make a significant impact when combined.”
Turning a Birthday Celebration into a Charitable Event
ARMTEK Group even turned its own birthday celebration into a charitable event. This year, the company celebrated at the National Olympic Stadium “Dinamo” with employees, partners, special guests, and their families. Attendees over the age of 14 paid a symbolic “entrance fee” to participate in the FUNNY OLYMPIC GAMES ARMTEK. All proceeds were donated to the “Chance” fund.
About the International Charity Fund “Chance”
The International Charity Fund “Chance” has been operating since 2008. Over the years, it has implemented numerous programs and projects in collaboration with Belarusian healthcare organizations, providing targeted assistance for the treatment of 1,393 children. This would not have been possible without the donations from individuals and sponsorship support from companies like ARMTEK Group, which has been a steadfast supporter since the fund’s inception.
“We take this opportunity to congratulate ARMTEK Group on its 28th anniversary and express our sincere gratitude for making the support of ‘Chance’ and its wards an integral part of their life and work,” said Natalia Makhanko, Director of the International Charity Fund “Chance”.
Expanding Charitable Initiatives
ARMTEK Group continuously seeks ways to expand its charitable efforts and involve more people. For instance, since June 2016, the company has been donating 100% of the proceeds from the sale of Stellox air fresheners and 1% of retail sales to charity. Currently, ARMTEK Group is participating in an urgent fundraising campaign to purchase medications for the treatment of oncological, hematological, and immunological diseases, with a target of $8,600.
Supporting Various Charitable Initiatives
In addition to its ongoing support for the “Chance” fund, ARMTEK Group contributes to other charitable initiatives. In May 2023, the company donated $18,800 to the State Institution “Republican Scientific and Practical Center ‘Mother and Child'” to support the treatment of children suffering from spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
Conclusion
ARMTEK Group’s commitment to philanthropy is a testament to its corporate values and dedication to making a positive impact on society. Through its various initiatives and partnerships, the company continues to demonstrate the power of collective efforts in driving significant change.
