BMO Invests in Forty Carrots

(Sarasota – August 19, 2020) – Longtime supporter, BMO Wealth Management has formalized plans to pivot its Title Sponsorship of 2020 Wine, Women & Shoes to a $17,000 donation that will allow Forty Carrots to continue its vital programs in the community. 

“To say we are all living in unprecedented times is an understatement and does not adequately validate the fear, anxiety, and overwhelming unease we all feel during this time,” says Tammie M. Sandoval-Badger, CTFA vice president, BMO Wealth Management. “BMO recognizes the critical care Forty Carrots provides our communities and it is now more important than ever that we support these services and programs which provide stability to so many families. BMO’s purpose is to Boldly Grow the Good and we are honored to support Forty Carrots in their continued efforts to positively impact children and families during this tenuous time and for years to come.”

With BMO’s support, services within Forty Carrots areas of expertise in mental health, early childhood education, and parenting education will strengthen families. All programs are designed to reduce the risk of abuse and neglect and promote healthy child development necessary for future success in school and life.

“We are grateful to receive this donation from BMO Wealth Management and thank them for their unwavering support for our mission,” said Forty Carrots CEO Michelle Kapreilian. “Having the ability to continue our services without interruption during this stressful time has been essential to our children and families that were already in tenuous family circumstances.”
