TORONTO, April 13, 2018 /CNW/ - Today, renowned sports
artist David Arrigo will be in the
lobby of One York, the Sun Life
Financial Headquarters in Toronto,
to paint a large-scale Raptors themed mural to mark the beginning
of the NBA playoffs and celebrate the Raptors as they embark on
this exciting journey.
Sun Life commissioned Arrigo to wish the team good luck and
build momentum and excitement during this incredible time in the
franchise's history. Sun Life employees can help cheer on the
Toronto Raptors as they tip off for their playoff run by writing a
personal message of support on the piece. The mural will be
presented to the Raptors at a future date.
