Sun Life Donates $70K To Charities In Bermuda
Sun Life International announced the donation of $70,000 to a number of Bermudian charities.
A spokesperson said, “This year, Sun Life International’s Charitable Giving Committee, which consists exclusively of Bermuda-based employees, awarded funds to 25 charities, registered in Bermuda. The grants, which range in size from $1,000 to $10,000, will benefit organizations focusing on education, mental health, the fight against Covid, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and fund cancer research.”
“Headquartered in Bermuda, Sun Life International donates funds to various charity organizations in Bermuda every year. In recent years, Sun Life supported Back-to-School fundraisers, sponsored Team Bermuda at the NatWest Island Games, took part in beach cleaning campaigns and food drives, as well as many other important initiatives.”
“This donation continues our good tradition of supporting communities where we live and work,” said Donna Cotter, CEO of Sun Life International. “Being a responsible corporate citizen, we feel the need to increase our support this year to help fight against Covid, address poverty and hunger, and other good causes.”
“Sun Life’s presence on the island dates back over 100 years,” said Duarte de Frias, AVP, Relationship Management and Controller, Sun Life International. “We are proud of being able to contribute to the wellbeing of our fellow Bermudians and see it as an utmost priority.”
The new donation pledge is in addition to donations to Bermudian charities, announced by Sun Life’s global parent company in Canada earlier this year.
