Members of The Grand Bahama Children's Home, The Humane Society of Grand Bahama, and The Pilot Club of Lucaya celebrate a successful charity event for The Dollar That Could Project.

Freeport, Grand Bahama: The first annual The Dollar that Could Project (TDTC) silent auction and cocktail reception was touted a success.
 
The event held in The Delphine Rook of The Pelican Bay, drew a great crowd of bidders and had a very festive atmosphere.
 
Among the silent auction items were a collection of Harl Taylor Bags, weekend get aways to The Hope Town Harbour Lodge, Sandals in Exuma, and art and jewelry pieces.
 
TDTC 2.0, is raising funds for The Grand Bahama Children's Home, Humane Society of Grand Bahama, and The Pilot Club of Lucaya. The event organizers indicated that the event raised at least ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and all proceeds from the auction will go directly to the participating charities for their various ongoing projects.
 
Executive Director of The Humane Society of Grand Bahama, Tip Burrows, stated that the charity organizations worked on this event for months.
 
"The Humane Society is it for the animals in Grand Bahama. The other participating charities are also doing tremendous work in the community as we all are dealing with persons and animals who are disadvantaged, neglected, or abused."
 
She added that Grand Bahama is hurting and people and animals are suffering. The Pilot Club of Lucaya, The Grand Bahama Children's Home, and The Humane Society are all that they have.
 
"The one common thread we all have is we are trying to restore hope, whether its for animals, people, and children, we need so much help to do that, and its important that we not lose sight of the needs of the community," Burrows said.
 
TDTC raised $18,000.00 last year for its first installment of the project.
 
Atario Mitchell, President of Caribbean Pavement Solutions indicated that he was extremely happy to see the level of support from the Grand Bahama community.
 
"The project is about impacting lives, being your brothers keeper, and three charity organizations coming together for a common goal," Mitchell said.
 
He added, that he hopes Grand Bahamians will continue to support the project because one dollar can go a long way to assist the charities with the work they do in Grand Bahama.
