Tangerine Bank is donating $1,000 for every Bank Shot made by the Raptors this 2022/2023 NBA Season towards basketball community initiatives like Lady Ballers Camp
TORONTO, Jan. 23, 2023 /CNW/ – Today, Tangerine Bank (Tangerine) announced Lady Ballers Camp as the first partner that will benefit from the Bank Shot Account, a program designed to help fund basketball community initiatives across the country.
As the Official Bank of the Toronto Raptors and NBA Canada, Tangerine understands that basketball is more than just a game played on the court. That’s why, at the start of the current NBA season, Tangerine launched the Bank Shot Account, where $1,000 is deposited into the account every time a Raptor makes a Bank Shot during their regular season. At the end of the season, the funds in the Bank Shot Account will be donated to deserving basketball community initiatives across Canada. As of January 23, 2023, the Raptors have landed 71 Bank Shots, accumulating $71,000 into the Bank Shot Account this season so far.
“The Bank Shot Account is another way Tangerine is engaging with the basketball community and fans,” says Gillian Riley, President and CEO of Tangerine Bank. “Through Tangerine Project Forward, we support grassroots organizations that are making a difference in their communities, particularly through youth in sport. We are excited to build upon our partnership with Lady Ballers Camp and help facilitate the incredible work they do to build confidence and life skills in young girls through basketball.”
Lady Ballers Camp is the first community partner to be announced as a Bank Shot Account recipient. The funds they receive will fund the development of a six-week basketball summer camp experience for youth in underserved communities across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
“We’re extremely proud of our partnership with an organization that understands the importance of equitable access to sport and education for our youth,” said Toyo Ajibolade, Founder and Executive Director of Lady Ballers Camp. “Tangerine’s commitment will support direct program costs for girl-centred programs encouraging non-competitive physical, emotional, and educational development.”
Tangerine invites Canadians to follow along and cheer for every Bank Shot the Raptors make this year. In addition to supporting a great cause, when the total amount in the Bank Shot Account hits certain milestones, exclusive contest prizes are unlocked, including Raptors merchandise and game tickets, trips to the NBA finals, and more. Canadians can sign up for their chance to win*, watch the Bank Shot Account grow, and learn more at Tangerine.ca/BankShot.
