Amman, March 2010 – Under its programs and activities targeted at activating its positive role towards the community and as part of its Mother’s Day celebrations, Capital Bank announced the launch of a new campaign for Mother’s Day that falls on the 21st of March at Farah Hospital.

Under this campaign, Capital bank will also be presenting all females visiting the hospital with flower bouquets, and a group of the bank’s female employees will be visiting all new mothers in their hospital rooms with a token gift accompanied by a congratulatory letter from the Capital Bank family showcasing the Bank’s recognition of the important role that mothers play in shaping the future of generations.

This campaign reflects our sincere dedication to engaging with all members of our community and sharing with them the joys of such occasions, as we are aware of and committed to fulfilling our responsibility towards our society. We would also like to extend our deepest thanks and gratitude through this campaign to the significant efforts that mothers put forth in raising their children and nurturing healthy generations to build a bright future. We hope that through this campaign we were able to express at least a portion of our appreciation to mothers for the sacrifices they regularly and selflessly make, and that we were successful in bringing a smile to their faces.”
