Flying Ace club benefits from Bridge Company donation
The Berbice Bridge Company Inc. (BBCI) recently contributed $30,000 towards the Flying Ace Cycle Club’s race against Domestic Violence Track Attack event which will be held on October 20th, 2013 at Blairmont Estate Ground.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the BBCI, Mr. Omadatt Samaroo, in comments to this newspaper added that the Company was privileged to have the opportunity to make a donation towards the Flying Ace Cycle Club. It should be noted that this is not the first time that the BBCI has come on board to sponsor events and make

donations for the Flying Ace Cycle Club. In 2012 the Company had donated 75 lbs of chicken to the Club for its Fund Raising Take Away Lunch and also sponsored several events of the Club’s Track Attack which amounted to $51,000. In 2013 the Company sponsored the air fare totaling $48,000 for one person who participated in the Easter International Grand Prix Race and also sponsored several categories for its 50-mile cycle race on August 3, 2013.
Domestic Violence in Guyana, Samaroo stated, is widespread and is a problem in all regions of the country; it crosses racial and socioeconomic lines. “BBCI is therefore committed to supporting this cause and as such, has supported Flying Ace Cycle Club with this race since it will promote the awareness of domestic violence.” “The Berbice Bridge Company Inc. (BBCI) not only plays the role of collecting tolls and facilitating vehicles crossing the Berbice River Bridge and vessels transiting through the Retractor opening and under the High Span but also, discharges its corporate responsibilities and more importantly played an integral part in the development of education, sports, supported national events and made donations to charitable and non – charitable organizations in close proximity of the Bridge or in Region 5 and 6. The Company had also sponsored events in other counties and as far as the hinterland.”
This amount represents sponsorship for the following categories:

1 BMX Boys Open $ 6,000.00
2 Female $ 8,000.00
