Also present during the event were Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration the Hon. Fred Mitchell, and Deputy Leader of the Official Opposition Free National Movement and MP for East Grand Bahama, the Hon. K. Peter Turnquest.
The donations were as the result of a campaign, 'The Dollar That Could,' which ran for a year and successfully raised $18,000.
According to Minister Darville, this particular programme is very special because it has clearly demonstrated that with the support of the business community, "we are able to raise a substantial amount of capital and support charitable organizations on the island of Grand Bahama."
Bahamas Striping Group of Companies started five years ago, and president, Atario Mitchell said the campaign was not just about raising the money, but who would benefit from it. He credited the businesses who partnered with him in this venture, namely Kelly's, Sawyers Meat and Express Mart.
Benefiting from this campaign were the Grand Bahama Children's Home, Rotary International, and the Grand Bahama Humane Society.
