BOV asset management supports Puttinu Cares BOV Asset Management made a meaningful gesture to Puttinu Cares through a philanthrop- ic donation made on behalf of their institutional clients. The donation was presented during a client appreciation event held at the Bank's Premium Centre in Santa Venera. This initiative, now in its sec- ond edition, forms part of Bank of Valletta Group's broader ESG and social impact goals and highlights the Bank's commit- ment to support causes that en- rich the lives of the vulnerable and the wider community. It is an innovative way of replacing corporate gifts normally associ- ated with events such as Christ- mas with charitable donations, thereby giving clients the op- portunity to be part of a wider purpose in supporting families in need. Speaking at the event, Peter Paul Cilia, the newly appointed Head of BOV Asset Manage- ment, remarked, "This initiative goes beyond simple gestures; it is a practical way of making a real difference, supporting Put- tinu Cares and helping families during difficult moments in their lives. Our clients' support in this makes it all the more meaningful." The donation was presented to Angele Cuschieri, President, Rennie Zerafa, CEO, and Mal- colm Custo, vice-President of the Puttinu Cares Foundation. On accepting the donation, Angele Cuschieri expressed heartfelt thanks on behalf of the foundation and stated that "We are incredibly grateful for the continued support from Bank of Valletta. Donations like these allow us to keep offering hope to patients and their families. As we look ahead to our annual Good Friday Night Walkathon, this gesture strengthens our mission and reminds us that we are never alone in this journey." This year's Good Friday Night Walk marks its 20th edition. This popular activity remains one of Puttinu Cares' most sig- nificant fundraising events, see- ing thousand of people walking from Mellieħa to Floriana dur- ing the night between Maudy Thursday and Good Friday. In support of this cause, the Bank's Sports and Social Club will be organising a group of employ- ees and friends to take part in the night walk, with several employees already signed up to participate. Fuel your focus: Join the crowd behind Malta's all-natural energy drink startup WHAT if there was a functional energy drink that could fuel focus, clarity and purpose and help pow- er through whatever life throws at us – all while being 100% natural? That's what local entrepreneur Matthew Cassar asked himself, as he struggled with the effects of ADHD. In response, he launched MEYN Energy: the startup behind a game-changing alternative en- ergy drink, founded in Malta and backed by science. MEYN Energy is a refreshing, all-natural drink made with re- al fruit juices, lion's mane, maca root, ginseng and natural caffeine – a unique blend shown to sup- port thinking and memory pro- cesses, boost mood and reduce stress – with none of the artificial ingredients, chemicals and add- ed sugars found in other energy drinks dominating the market. Now, a crowdfunding campaign on Zaar aims to bring MEYN En- ergy to shelves across Malta and beyond. MEYN Energy began as a home- made blend to manage focus and fatigue and create clean, natural energy. When Cassar's friends asked to try some, he spotted a market demand and developed the recipe, initially selling the product as JuiZed. But soon, de- mand outgrew production – so together with a business partner in Austria, Cassar further improved the scientifically formulated prod- uct to become MEYN Energy. MEYN is available in two deli- cious flavours – Tropical Passion and Citrus Berry Blast – and Cas- sar is ready to bring MEYN En- ergy to people both in Malta and around the world, with the help of crowdfunding. The Zaar crowdfunding cam- paign aims to raise €5,000 towards bringing MEYN to full production – and word is spreading fast, as backers pledged 14% of this goal in just four days following the cam- paign launch. Backers have until 30 April to join the MEYN move- ment on Zaar and help put Malta on the map as the birthplace of a new kind of energy – and they can expect some truly bold rewards according to the amount they contribute. The distinct reward tiers include thank-you notes, cans of each flavour, MEYN six- packs, limited edition MEYN t-shirts, mentions on the website and invitations or VIP tickets to the summer launch party. There is even 'Lifetime Loyalty' – 48 cans of each flavour, plus a lifetime 35% discount on online purchases of MEYN Energy and an invitation to an exclusive supporters' launch event as well as VIP access to the official launch party. The standout reward available for just five back- ers? A lifetime supply of MEYN, which provides one can a day for life, alongside all the other 'Life- time Loyalty' perks. Corporate sponsors will also receive attrac- tive rewards for helping to power this exciting Maltese startup. And with a portion of proceeds from select rewards going to ADHD Malta, supporting MEYN Energy via crowdfunding helps fuel even more than personal energy – it al- so makes a difference in the com- munity.
