ABANCA has been distinguished this year with the Terras Gauda National Sailing Award for the best sponsor for its commitment to grassroots sailing through the support it provides to numerous sailing schools, clubs, organizations and companies related to nautical activity.
With this award, the jury that awards the awards wanted to recognize the work that the Galicia-based bank carries out to promote sailing and allow thousands of children to start practicing this sport every year.
As its original entities did for decades, ABANCA maintains a close relationship with sailing in all its aspects, based, according to the entity, on its educational, sporting and economic values.
In addition to supporting basic sailing, in the competitive section, ABANCA also supports sailing adapted for people with disabilities and the celebration in Galician waters of multiple regattas of different classes and levels, such as the ABANCA Sailing & Rowing Week, which in the 2015 edition achieved the distinction of Best Dinghy Sailing Regatta in Spain, or the Infanta Elena Regatta.
Likewise, ABANCA supports, from its function as a financial entity, different business projects related to the nautical sector, considering it an economic activity with great potential for generating employment and wealth.
The Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards will be presented on September 3 in Baiona, coinciding with the celebration of the Prince of Asturias Trophy of the Monte Real Yacht Club. ABANCA executives have already confirmed their attendance to collect the entity’s award for the best sponsor of the year.
