Republic Bank supports TT athletes

The two entities collaborated in an effort to assist the nation’s athletes both on and off the playing field, through a promotion which allowed for Visa Credit Card customers, to donate to the TT Olympic Committee’s (TTO C) #10golds24 Athlete Welfare and Preparation Fund, via their purchases. The funding, which amounted to TT $275,000 went toward helping the athletes train, recover and compete.

The funds also provided direct support to the sportsmen and sportswomen and buttressed their out of pocket expenses, medal and Olympic qualification bonuses, life skills, training and internship.

The Bank’s marketing manager, product management credit, Damian Cooper, presented the cheque recently to the TTO C president, Brian Lewis, at the Committee’s headquarters. Lewis expressed his gratitude to the Bank on behalf of the TTO C, applauding both Republic Bank and its customers, for their successful efforts toward supporting local athletes.
