Allied World Community Day On April 22
The Centre on Philanthropy is inviting the entire community out for an afternoon of ‘fun, games and volunteerism’ at the Allied World Family Community Day in Victoria Park, Hamilton next Sunday, April 22 from 1pm until 5pm.
The event, currently in its seventh year, has been generously sponsored by Allied World Assurance Company.
“Allied World has been a phenomenal partner for this event,” said Danielle Riviere, Interim Executive Director at The Centre on Philanthropy.
“Not only are they the lead sponsor but their staff are the events volunteers. We are excited to continue to work with AWAC in hosting the Family Community Day where families and friends can come out and have fun while volunteering.”
Students can earn up to two community service hours for participating in activities; while people of all ages can learn the value of compassion and community awareness through volunteerism.
Shirlene White, Centre on Philanthropy Community Engagement Coordinator stated, “The Centre on Philanthropy exists to serve nonprofits and through the generous sponsorship of Allied World this is an excellent opportunity for families to get together, give back and enjoy themselves as well. We have more than 20 nonprofits participating and plenty of fun activities and entertainment throughout the day.”
Pegi Croucher, Vice President, Administration Group said: “AWAC Family Community Day is a wonderful event for the entire family, young and old. There are so many activities to participate in whilst learning what a number of Bermuda’s charities do in the community.
“Our goal is that participating in the Family Community Day leads to more people working directly with the various charities. It’s fun and they’ll see how various charities help the Bermuda community. A perfect family outing on a Sunday afternoon.”
Allied World first sponsored the family-friendly event five years ago. They liked the idea of providing a space for various Bermuda charities to come together and interact with the public.
