Foster stated that at the completion of 2018, the ten cricket teams would have distributed over $5M worth of hampers, toys, clothing, educational materials to less fortunate children, single parent households, NGOs, Churches and the elderly.

The Club would be sharing out hundreds of food hampers, 3000 toys, hosting a Christmas Children Party, making donations to orphanages and senior citizens home. Thousands of children would also be given the opportunity to have smiles on their faces.
Under-17 Captain and National Junior Cricketer Jonathan Rampersaud, who is one of the chief organisers of the programme, expressed gratitude to all of the donors. The promising and highly talented all rounder stated that the ten cricket teams are very proud of the fact that the RHTYSC is the only cricket club in the Caribbean that mandates its players to make positive differences in the lives of others. The Club in 2018 would have completed a total of 718 programmes/activities by the 31st December, 2018. Rampersaud expressed gratitude to all of the donors and reassured them that the items would be used for the intended purpose.
