CIBC Caribbean Celebrates International Men’s Day with Community Support

In a show of support for International Men’s Day, CIBC Caribbean has made a financial contribution to the Gray’s Green Sports Club, benefiting local boys and young men. The donation, presented by Michael Roach, Platinum Banking Manager, underscores the bank’s dedication to youth development and community engagement.

“The Gray’s Green Sports Club serves 25 young boys aged 8 to 15 from the Gray’s Farm and Green Bay areas. Through this contribution, we aim to convey to these boys and young men that they are valued members of our community,” Roach stated. He emphasized the importance of sports in fostering healthy development, discipline, and teamwork.

Roach, a local resident, expressed pride in representing CIBC Caribbean: “As someone from this area, I feel honored to contribute to our youth.”

Akeem Grant, co-founder of the Gray’s Green Sports Club, expressed gratitude for the bank’s timely and appreciated support.
