In collaboration with "Make A Wish", we raised the amount of 6,000€, carrying by fulfilling the wishes of children suffering from serious illnesses.

Cosmos Sport team took part in a run in collaboration with the "Alma Zois", the women's association against breast cancer, and then a special Workshop was organized at the company's offices which was dedicated to: A Wellness Day at HQs, where Cosmos Women were taught about the prevention of breast cancer by the KEFI association, while the day ended with a healthy brunch and a unique Yoga session. We continue to provide clothing and footwear to the association that deals with the reinforcement and care of the homeless, "Dinner of Love".
