Soapbox, hosted by WCCA TV Executive Director Mauro DePasquale, features conversations with community leaders, local businesses, cultural organizations, and more. In this episode, Mauro interviews Michael Garand, President of Bank of America Worcester and Managing Director and Private Client Advisor at Bank of America Private Bank. Bank of America is committed to creating a summer of affordable, family fun by making golf accessible for young players throughout Greater Boston and Massachusetts with the return of Golf with Us. There are 40 participating golf courses throughout Massachusetts—including four in the Central Mass region: Cyprian Keys GC (Boylston), Dudley Hill GC (Nichols College Course, Dudley), Pakachoag GC (Auburn), and The Acorn at Shining Rock GC (Northbridge). Youth on Course members can also enjoy benefits at 110 Golf Galaxy stores and at 29 Dick's House of Sports locations, including the Framingham and Boylston Street locations—fun indoor simulators are a great way for kids to connect with golf. Bank of America is the official bank of FIFA World Cup 2026™ and is committed to supporting the pursuit of excellence, making a human connection, wellness, and community impact through the power of sport. As the nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Bank of America is offering free access to 250 cultural and civic institutions to help customers experience and engage with America's history and culture through an expansion of the bank's Museums on Us program, and free access to the Massachusetts 250 and MA250 + Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, one of the country's oldest and largest Fourth of July events.
