The bank treated all mothers at the branch to the event, which was well attended. Tickets were purchased by CIBC FirstCaribbean to facilitate the mothers’ attendance at the function, which was well attended and received.

The Stepz for Christ dance ministry has been hosting a number of events over the past eight years to support its evangelism outreach.

The cheque was presented to Marika Young by CIBC First­Caribbean Business Support officer and Employee Engage­ment champion/Corporate Banking Jacintha Hinds.

Hinds also presented a cheque to Marlon Charles of the St Vincent Planned Parenthood Association, for the group’s youth rally.

The rally took place on Wednesday, May 18, at Heritage Square in Kingstown.

The rally sought to bring this country’s youngsters together, in an effort to raise awareness of their sexual reproductive health and rights.

Hinds indicated that the donation to the dance ministry not only shows the bank’s support for the work that the organization is doing in various communities, but is also a way of saying “thank you” to the mothers employed at CIBC FirstCaribbean.
