CUB Celebrates Bahamian Culture As Sponsor of Junkanoo Book

“Junkanoo is the most significant expression of us as Bahamians and a collective society. The rich tradition is more than a celebration; it is a rich competition of talent and art. The rhythm and sound of Junkanoo tells a story of who we are and our connection to our past.

Arguably, Junkanoo is the most celebrated cultural tradition in our country. At midnight the sounds of the goatskin drum, the shaking of the cowbells, the electric dancing, and the blowing of the whistle all together create a movement of excitement across Bay Street.

Our people, country, and region remain a depository of Africa’s legends. The story of John Canoe lives on and is enshrined in our way of life.” – The Rt. Hon. Philip Edward (Brave) Davis, Prime Minister & Minister of Finance of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas (Foreword, Junkanoo – Portraits of the Soul)

Alessandro Sarno (The Lonesome Photographer) continues to pay homage to Bahamian culture through his thoughtful curation of Bahamian father and son duo’s photographs (Nicholas & Mike Klonaris) of Junkanoo. Capital Union Bank is proud to be the sponsor of this wonderful body of work celebrating the Arts and our country – “Junkanoo – Portraits of the Soul“

Swing For Scholarships VI – Golf Tournament Sponsored by CUB

Capital Union Bank served as the proud ‘Master Sponsor’ for LCIS’ Swing for Scholarships VI, a golf tournament that was held last Friday on May 13th, 2022 at the Lyford Cay Golf Course. The fun-filled day of golf was all for a great cause with all proceeds directly supporting scholarships for Bahamian students at LCIS.

Having a Master Sponsor for the sponsorship of the event ensures that 100% of the sponsor proceeds goes directly to support the Scholarship Fund that helps many Bahamian students attend Lyford Cay International School (LCIS) who shares a commitment to diversity, equality and building our nation.

“As a non-pro fit, LCIS will continue to depend on donations from loyal supporters to provide critical financial resources that directly support and enhance the student learning experience. The success of LCIS has always and will continue to be made possible by the support, generosity and loyalty of parents, community friends and corporate partners like Capital Union Bank to help educate the leaders of tomorrow. Thank you.” – Rebecca Massey, LCIS Development Coordinator
