CIBC Caribbean is making significant strides in its mission to raise nearly $100,000 for cancer awareness and support through its annual two-day Walk for the Cure event in Saint Lucia. The initiative, now in its 12th year, is part of the broader Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities and is held across various countries where CIBC operates. This year’s event faced a slight delay due to logistical challenges, including the late arrival of the signature pink T-shirts worn by participants. The first walk took place on November 9 in Gros Islet, attracting a large number of participants, with the second installment scheduled for November 16 in Vieux Fort. Funds are raised through partnerships, sponsorships, and the sale of T-shirts, with all proceeds benefiting Faces of Cancer and the Saint Lucia Cancer Society. These organizations are dedicated to supporting cancer patients, survivors, and their families, while also raising awareness and advocating for improved care systems. Nigel Ollivierre, CIBC Country Head, expressed optimism about surpassing this year’s fundraising target, emphasizing the event’s growing impact. Participants, including survivors and their families, shared heartfelt stories of resilience and solidarity, highlighting the importance of community support in the fight against cancer. Saint Lucia remains unique in the Caribbean for hosting two separate Walk for the Cure events annually, further amplifying its commitment to the cause.
