Jennifer Cipriani, Scotiabank Marketing Manager commented at the handing over of the cheque: “For the fourth consecutive year, the top three players will receive as part of their prize package, a donation towards a children’s charity of their choice under Scotiabank’s Bright Future Programme. The cash donations are $150,000.00, $100,000.00 and $75,000.00 for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners respectively.”
Cipriani added, “Under its Global Bright Future philanthropic programme, the Bank channels funds and employee volunteer hours towards initiatives that benefit children in the areas of education, health, social well-being (arts and culture) and sports. Scotiabank has contributed on average some $50 million annually to community causes around the world over the last 5 years.”
So far, the Scotiabank sponsored tournament is the only one with a philanthropic component. The Bank, and the Lusignan Golf Club, welcomes other sponsors to be involved in such a praiseworthy investment.
Golfers will indicate before the start of the tournament which children’s charity they would identify to benefit from Scotiabank’s donation should they finish in the top three.
