DFCC Bank ties up with ThePapare.com for March Madness

In yet another awareness initiative under DFCC Bank’s ‘Know & Grow’ campaign aimed at empowering the people of Sri Lanka, DFCC has tied up with ThePapare.com to publish interesting content about cricket and the Big Match Season in order to reach out to past and present students who are passionate about the tradition of this tournament. 

The Big Match Season which forms an intrinsic part of the nation’s sporting history provides an opportunity for DFCC Bank to spread awareness about ten key encounters and the rich history surrounding these events. DFCC Bank expects this to be the first of many more such gestures by the Bank towards benefitting students from more schools in the future to encourage love of sport amongst youth. By partnering with ThePapare.com, the country’s largest online hub for sports, match results and other useful information will be shared with audiences both here and abroad.
