Tangerine Bank – Empowering Canadians #brightwayforward

Last week I was invited to attend the Community Gym event, hosted by Tangerine Bank at the YMCA in downtown Toronto. Although my daughter was a bit young to attend, she would have loved to been there to share her love for basketball with the other kids that were there.

Here are a few words from a Tangerine Bank Employee, mother and volunteer helping answer questions through out the event.

Tangerine Bank is Empowering Canadian communities with basketball by teaching leadership skills and sportsmanship instructed by two-time NBA-MVP, Steve Nash, program Ambassador for Bright Way Forward.

Tangerine is committed to providing financial resources and volunteer hours to help our partners effectively deliver programs and initiatives that inspire self-confidence, leadership, belonging and acceptance. We believe that optimistic individuals who feel empowered to take positive action in their lives will help form the backbone of strong communities – creating a bright way forward, today and tomorrow.

Tangerine is working with organizations across the country to help empower Canadians. Whether it’s helping youth develop self-esteem and leadership skills on a basketball court, delivering mentorship and career building skills to new Canadians looking for work, or delivering healthy food and food education, our partners help promote a sense of self-confidence, belonging and empowerment.

To end the day we had the pleasure of Michael Prosserman, founder of Unity Charity, hip hop and talk about how he started Unity as a class project in school by helping today’s youth make better choices and become mentors to make schools and communities safer.
