In the count down to its annual Walk for the Cure, CIBC FirstCaribbean in collaboration with Rotary Clubs of Central Tortola and of Road Town will host the Hunt for the Cure – a car rally fund raising treasure hunt on Saturday, September 25, 2021 starting at 10:00am.
The cancer fundraiser is part of the Walk for the Cure initiative and all proceeds will go to the BVI Cancer Society. The car rally takes participants on a fun adventure around Tortola which starts and ends at the CIBC FirstCaribbean car park. Participants are invited to register as a team of 2, 3 or 4 persons and the first 50 participating teams will receive a $25 Sol fuel voucher on the day.
The prizes, which are suitable for all ages to enjoy,include a Necker Island Wildlife Tour with Gumption’s Learning Adventures, a Gumption’s Sea It Clear Glass Bottom Boat Reef Tour and a Day trip with Nice and Easy Charter
Based on a theme of “a Community of Care and Hope”, teams also can win special category prizes with the best thematically dressed vehicle or best “Message of Hope for the Cure”.
Registration in advance is encouraged. Entry fees per vehicle are as $80 for a 2-person team, $120 for a team of 3, $160 for a 4-person team and $200 for a corporate team with an opportunity to brand the vehicle. Registration on the day is possible with a charge of $20 extra per vehicle. Participants will receive water and hand sanitiser on the day and will be required to wear a mask and maintain social distance when engaging with persons outside of their group. All funds raised will be added to the monies raised by the Walk for the Cure event which will be held on October 9.
“We are excited to have this addition to our activities this year to help raise awareness and support for the fight against cancer,” said Fabian Devonish, Branch Manager for Retail Platinum and Business Banking who is serving as the country Walk for the Cure Manager.
“The Hunt for the Cure is an activity that can be safely enjoyed by families or teams in the same social bubble, as participants can remain in their bubble with minimum interaction with other groups. It’s an opportunity to go out and have some fun that’s different from the normal weekend activity and which helps to bring in much needed funds to support the work of the BVI Cancer Society,” he said.
Entry forms for the Hunt for the Cure can be downloaded from the event page of the same name on the CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank page on Facebook or requested by email from fabian.devonish@cibcfcib.com.
