Nassau, Bahamas – CEMEX Bahamas presented executives of the Rotary Club of East Nassau with a $20,000 donation that will strengthen projects and help rebuild communities. The donation is earmarked for the Rotary Bahamas Disaster Relief Fund.
“We are humbled for the opportunity to work with Rotary in rebuilding and restoring areas affected by Hurricane Dorian, and other pandemic-related efforts to help the communities,” said Rogelio Barahona Martinez, country manager of CEMEX Bahamas. “Our first priority is health and safety and we are proud to serve the Bahamian market.”

CEMEX Bahamas assisted in the Hurricane Dorian Recovery efforts in 2019 and they are continuing their support with this new donation that will be used towards the pandemic. “Rotary is there until the job is done, whether that takes weeks, months or years,” said Barry Rassin, Past Rotary International President and Rotary Disaster Relief Committee member. “We certainly appreciate this additional support from CEMEX Bahamas that will enhance the work we all started.”
