Columbia Confectionery donates €3K to Agios Stephanos Foundation
Columbia Confectionery, a member of Columbia Restaurants, has donated €3,000 to the Agios Stefanos Foundation in Limassol, following the strong public response to its Christmas collection “Nutcracker Christmas”, transforming the collection’s commercial success into a meaningful social contribution.
The donation was presented by Constantinos Christodoulou, Brand Manager of Columbia Confectionery, in support of the Foundation’s work in the care and education of children with developmental disabilities.
Commenting on the initiative, Brand Manager Christodoulou focused on its social contribution dimension. “The ‘Nutcracker Christmas’ collection was created to combine the festive experience with social contribution,” he noted. “Thanks to our customers’ support, we were able to make a tangible contribution to an organisation carrying out vital social work. This donation forms part of Columbia Restaurants’ broader social responsibility programme, with a focus on initiatives that connect business activity with measurable social impact.”
On behalf of the Foundation, Mikaella Stavrinidou, Director of the Agios Stefanos Foundation, expressed her appreciation. “We sincerely thank Columbia Confectionery and Columbia Restaurants for this generous donation,” she said. “This support enables us to further strengthen our equipment and services for the children and their families.
