Community involvement

The sun is shining even brighter in the Dominican Republic thanks to a group of Sun Life Financial advisors.

I was among those advisors attending a conference from March 25-28, 2010, in Punta Cana. We spent a day helping out at a local school. We and our families cleaned up the grounds, did some landscaping, built a playground, and painted the school inside and outside.

We also donated money to purchase new desks. Sun Life Financial made a matching donation that paid for a new roof, wiring, septic system and well, ceiling fans and fridge, generator, new doors, steps and screens.

It was a rewarding hands-on experience for everyone involved. And 70 children much less fortunate than us now have a school they can look forward to attending.

I’m always proud to give back to my community and to help others in need.

Pearson Financial Services Ltd. sponsors an annual local bike race in Squamish called the Gearjammer Opens link in a new window. In particular, we are the presenting sponsor of the Squamish Cup which is awarded to the fastest male and female participants in the race. The event is great for families and each year we set up a booth at the finish line and supply ice cream to the spectators. We plan to continue sponsoring this fun event for years to come.
