“We are thankful for this CIBC FirstCaribbean donation which will go toward the aid and medical care of children afflicted with heart disease or who need heart surgery,” said Thelma Johnson, president of the Sir Victor Sassoon Heart Foundation.
“Families who need financial aid are referred to us by local cardiologists and donations like this make it possible for us to pay for their children’s needs.”
Corporate donations assist the Sir Victor Sassoon (Bahamas) Heart Foundation in helping parents take their children to specialist centers in Florida for medical attention at no cost to the families. CIBC FirstCaribbean made a donation to the Foundation to help support the families of children with heart conditions.
The Sir Victor Sassoon (Bahamas) Heart Foundation is one of the most respected charitable organizations in the Bahamas. It is a privately funded charity that raises money primarily through donations and the Annual Heart Ball, which will be held again on February 2nd 2017 at the Melia Hotel, Nassau.
