Scotiabank Powers Run for Mom 5K with $3 Million Donation for Teen Moms

The Jamaica Observer is proud to report on Scotiabank's significant contribution to the Run for Mom 5K, a vital event supporting teen mothers in Jamaica. This sponsorship, totaling $3 million, underscores Scotiabank's deep commitment to our nation's well-being and its focus on supporting families and community development. We see this not just as a financial donation, but as a powerful endorsement of the work done by the Women's Centre of Jamaica Foundation, which provides crucial support to young mothers striving for a better future. Dr. Lawrence Scott's description of the sponsorship as a 'memorable moment' captures the positive impact this partnership will have. Unlike international coverage that might focus solely on the corporate aspect, we highlight how this aligns with Jamaica's own efforts to uplift its citizens and strengthen our social fabric. This event and Scotiabank's involvement are a testament to the spirit of nation-building that we champion.

We’ve been in dialogue with Scotiabank about the initiative. Their leadership has been very engaging because it aligns with their support of families, communities and nation-building. So going ahead, you know, they’ve done due diligence and due processing, and they’re now willing to lend their support for title sponsorship for the run for 5K.
