100 Years of Caring
#BrokersCare
Since 1926, caring has been at the heart of everything we do. To continue that tradition and strengthen our impact in local communities, IBAA launched #BrokersCare, a campaign that channels the community spirit of Alberta’s brokers to support kids-focused not-for-profit organizations. Since launch, with the help of our members, sponsors and vendor partners, we have managed to reach a grand total of charitable contributions of $45,297 raised!
