CIBC FirstCaribbean employees wore purple and Walk for the Cure/Positive Foundation face masks for “Jeans Day” recently to help raise awareness of cancer and raise funds ahead of the bank’s Virtual Walk for the Cure and Concert of Hope, which was held on Sunday, October 4.
The bank, through promoter 4D Entertainment, produced the regional event that brought together some 13 regional performers and two deejays for three hours of entertainment that also included workout sessions from a number of fitness coaches. Two performers who gave a different feel to the show were St. Maarten’s very own King James and Reinir Lijfrock from Curacao. Regional performers included Mr. Vegas from Jamaica, Mr. Killa from Grenada, Teddyson John from St. Lucia, Ricardo Drue from Antigua, and Julian Believe from the Bahamas. Persons wishing to support the cause can purchase face masks for US $10 via the bank or Positive Foundation. Contributions can also be made via the walk’s donation drop boxes or via CIBC FirstCaribbean Account C/A 10055400 at both the Philipsburg and Cole Bay branches.
