More than 300 National Bank employees, together in Ottawa for their 18th annual hockey tournament, gave the Breakfast Club of Canada the total proceeds collected through this activity again this year. This $80,000 donation will be used to support the Club's programs, including those offered in four Ottawa area schools.
“National Bank, its employees and the Club have been joining forces since 2002. Over the years, their commitment has always made an impact! More than $4.5 million has been collected through our shared initiatives. The driving force behind each success is the well-being of children,” stated Marie-Claude Bienvenue, Vice-President, Eastern Canada, Breakfast Club of Canada.
“To borrow an analogy from the world of hockey, the Bank employees participating in the tournament gave 110% again this year to support the Breakfast Club of Canada's activities. We take great pride in knowing that our financial support can make a difference in the lives of children, here in Ottawa and all across the country,” highlighted Jacques Chamberland, Senior Vice-President – Transformation at National Bank and honorary chair of the 18th edition of the NB Classic.
