The 8th edition of Drive right, drive healthy was also successfully implemented

Yesterday, more than 8,000 people of all ages drove through the "free" streets from vehicles in the center of Skopje and contributed to the promotion of healthy lifestyle, as part of the event "VOZI PRAVO, VOZI ZDRAVO". In the year when the Bank celebrates 80 years of its existence, the eighth edition of the event once again brought together all lovers of ecological transport on wheels in one place, as an urban form of transport that is economical, safe and does not pollute the environment.

The start was at Porta Makedonija, where several thousand smiling faces were impatiently waiting for the start to be marked and to drive on the streets that were free of vehicles only for them. Driving through the city center, with the t-shirts provided by the Bank, the participants in a long line achieved the effect of visibility and reached the City Park to be part of the big party organized in their honor. There, they first refreshed themselves with "Gorska", "Fricom" ice creams and snacks from "Vitaminka", then indulged in several hours of entertainment led by the charming presenters Deni Dzidrova, Marko Mark and Aleksandar Matovski - Cako. A rich music program followed with OXO and the favorite heroes of the "5+ familija" and DJ Ivan, as well as more sports and entertainment content organized by Kraft Production. The visitors also enjoyed an art corner of the graffiti artist Dreadpen who in cooperation with the visitors, made a creative canvas that the Bank will place in its working premises.

As part of the live lottery, one of the happiest participants of "VOZI PRAVO, VOZI ZDRAVO" received a voucher of 12,000 denars provided by the City of Skopje, and the party culminated with the drawing of the lottery with 80 valuable gifts as a symbol of Bank's 80th anniversary year. Prize winners won Specialized bicycles for children and adults, Specialized safety helmets, scooters, Garmin smart watches, roller skates, sports backpacks, hammocks, JBL headphones and Stanley thermoses. In addition to these gifts, Stopanska banka gave more than 200 other gifts, such as: water bottles, bicycle bags and t-shirts.

Traditionally, Stopanska banka will round off this edition of "VOZI PRAVO, VOZI ZDRAVO" with a donation to complete the construction of the STB children's velodrome in the Saraj park, as a continuation of all previous activities related to the promotion of alternative means of transportation. In the past years, the Bank donated funds for the construction of the first children's bicycle training ground, 14 bicycle repair stations, 105 bicycle parking lots, provided support for the construction of the first pumptrack training ground, financed the construction of the second pumptrack training ground in Skopje – TOPSI Pumptrack and donated equipment for modern bicycle parking lots for all 23 secondary schools in Skopje.

The Bank's activities related to the support and promotion of ecological transportation and healthy lifestyles are not only related to the "VOZI PRAVO, VOZI ZDRAVO" event, but continue throughout the year with systematically planned activities that improve the conditions for cyclists in urban areas.
