Howell Hinds donates prizes for sports promotion during Linden Town Week
Managing Director of Howell Hinds Construction Company of Amelia’s Ward, Howell ‘Yellowman’ Hinds on Thursday made a donation of several trophies, medals and over $500,000 in cash incentives which will be used for several sports events which are set for Linden during its Annual Linden Town Week celebrations from April 26 through to May 6.
Speaking of his company’s investment in sports Hinds, who is based in the United States, but has always had a yearning to help promote sports in Linden, told those attending the handing over ceremony which was held at the Senior Supervisors Club (SSC), that his company is committed to spread the promotion of sports and has committed to this the second year of specific promotion when the town celebrates its anniversary.
Howell Hinds displays the trophies donated.
He said this year there will be competition in four ball billiards, chess among school children only, dominoes and gin-rommy and perhaps a ballroom dancing competition for this years’ celebrations.
Recently Hinds was instrumental in having over $3M spent in the rehabilitation of the SSC and said he will continue to assist the club where all the activities will be contested.
He said, “Your presence here is well appreciated as we plan for what is the second annual promotion of the network of sports planned for Linden Town Week.
I am not sure what to expect in the future but this I know, that my company will continue to invest its money on condition that all its competitions are for the benefit for Lindeners.
This is only the beginning and I hope you all appreciate this gesture. We are doing this with the intention that Linden will rise again to top sports in the country as it were years ago.”
