THE Ranfurly Homes for Children received some added Christmas cheer when CIBC FirstCaribbean demonstrated its commitment to Bahamian youth with a donation to help cover the home’s holiday activities.
A long-time sponsor of Ranfurly Homes, the country’s only privately-run home, the bank commended the institution or the profound impact it makes on the lives of young Bahamians who need it most.
“Our young people are the country’s most valuable resources but also our most vulnerable,” said CIBC FirstCaribbean Managing Director Marie Rodland-Allen. “We consider it doing our part to nurture our youth when we support organisations like The Ranfurly Home who do incredible work to improve the lives of many Bahamian children.”
Ranfurly’s Director Alexander Roberts said: “We fundraise over 90 per cent of our operating budget so these donations are essential to our survival. CIBC FirstCaribbean has been good to us over the years and we are grateful for the corporate sponsors who help us keep our doors open.”
Youth and education are a major component of CIBC First Caribbean’s four-pronged social impact policy which also promotes health and wellness, staff volunteerism and community and environmental causes.
