The company was happy with the mileage they got in the 2012 edition and without hesitation, came on board for this tournament. They were also impressed with the quality of entertainment the 2012 tournament provided for the entire family. Receiving the cheque on behalf of the event, Ms Angela Haniff, Secretary of the Berbice Cricket Board and member of the committee, was high in praise for the continued support this event and many other programmes of the BCB receives from Metro. She called on all Guyanese, at home and New York to continue to support Metro so they can continue to give back to our communities.
Anil Beharry, event chairman, who was present, also thanked Metro for their continued support. He challenged other companies to come on board. He said that many businesses and private individuals feel that giving charity is an expense, but he begged to differ. He said that giving back to less fortunate is a God made law and is also an investment for returns.
Proceeds from this event will go towards assisting with the development of Sports in the Region as two first division cricket clubs (Albion and Bermine) and schools are identified for allocations. In addition, contributions will be made to two orphanages in Berbice and assistance to rehabilitate the Commentary Booth at the historic Albion Sports Complex.
The balance will be shared equally by the two organisations to fulfill their social obligations and community work under the Power to Change Programme.
