With the launch of #BrightWayForward campaign in 2015, Tangerine moved beyond the financial world to look for ways to help Canadians across all aspects of life. One of their main priorities was investing in youth across the country to create brighter futures.Teaming up with Canadian basketball legend and 7-time NBA All-Star Steve Nash for the launch, #BrightWayForward was created in the belief that building up confident, optimistic individuals who take positive action in their lives will help form the backbone of strong communities. Tangerine will support programs that inspire self-esteem, teamwork and leadership and encourage a sense of belonging and acceptance – essential ingredients to creating a bright way forward today and tomorrow.
Through its sponsorship and community investment program, #BrightWayForward, Tangerine has been working with program ambassador Steve Nash to help empower more than 500,000 Canadians. To do this, Tangerine works with incredible charitable organizations across the country to support programs that inspire self-esteem, teamwork, and encourage a sense of belonging.
Tangerine’s #BrightWayForward program focuses on building up confident, optimistic individuals to become the backbones of strong communities. By working with charitable partners across the county, Tangerine is able to bring this to life through a variety of programs focused on empowerment, including the basketball and leadership training featured at the Community Gym today.
