motionball for Special Olympics Announces National Partnership with Tangerine Bank--Empowering Young Leaders to Become Champions of Change!
TORONTO, Oct. 22, 2024 /CNW/ - National nonprofit motionball for Special Olympics proudly announces Tangerine Bank as a new National Partner and the first official Presenting Partner of motionballU for the 2024/2025 school year.
The fast-growing motionballU program provides Canadian university students with the opportunity to become community leaders and support Special Olympics at on-campus initiatives and events. Through a variety of purposeful, fun, and inclusive events, including motionball's flagship event, the Marathon of Sport, students learn new skills while giving back and building meaningful relationships with peers and local Special Olympics athletes.
Tangerine is committed to giving back through Project Forward, where the bank works with partners who provide the tools, resources and services that empower youth to take positive action in their communities. The initiatives supported inspire leadership, self-confidence, and acceptance for Canadian youth—aligning perfectly with motionball's mission to make a meaningful difference.
"A partnership with Tangerine Bank is the perfect match for motionball," said co-founder and Chairman of motionball, Paul Etherington. "At motionball, we are dedicated to empowering young Canadians to champion inclusivity in their community through the power of sporting and social events. We value education, integration, and celebration through all 50+ events we host nationally in support of the Special Olympics Canada Foundation, and Tangerine shares in this commitment to community and inclusiveness."
Tangerine Bank will support motionballU initiatives and events at university campuses across the country, connecting students and future leaders with the motionball movement, raising awareness and funds for the 40,000+ Special Olympic athletes across Canada. Tangerine Bank will also join motionball city events across the country – the Marathon of Sport events, motionball Galas and other national campaigns, including motionball's 10th anniversary of #NoGoodWay Day that encourages Canadians to end the use of the r-word in everyday language.
"We are beyond thrilled to partner with motionball to help bring their mission to life across Canada," said Natalie Jones, Chief Marketing Officer of Tangerine Bank. "Our shared dedication to empower the next generation of leaders and dismantle inequality are aligned, and together we look forward to growing this community of change-makers who are building a better tomorrow."
