Nassau, The Bahamas -
The Sandals Foundation, The
Coca-Cola Company and Caribbean Bottling Company Bahamas are excited to
announce that “Vibes on the Island” has been rescheduled for Saturday,
April 25, 2015.
This year’s fundraising concert in support of
the Providing Access to Continued Education programme (P.A.C.E.) will
also be sponsored, in part, by: Flight Centre Travel Group, JetBlue
Airways, Columbian Emeralds, and The Nassau Guardian Limited.
“Vibes
on the Island 2015” will once again take place on Sandals’ Private
Island at Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort & Offshore Island in
Nassau, Bahamas. The charity fundraiser will feature live performances
from internationally acclaimed reggae recording artist, Tarrus Riley
with special guests Dean Fraser & the Blak Soil Band and reggae
sensation, Chronixx and ZincFence Redemption.
All proceeds from
this year’s benefit concert will go to P.A.C.E. and to the completion
of their building fund. P.A.C.E. provides much needed support and
education to teenage mothers while promoting awareness to help reduce
teen pregnancy among young adults in Nassau, Bahamas. As a proud
partner, the Sandals Foundation – the non-profit arm of Sandals Resorts,
Beaches Resorts and Grand Pineapple Resorts – remains committed to
raising funds that will see to the completion of building a brand new,
multi-purpose facility ensuring that young mothers have access to a
support center that will accommodate administrative, health care,
nursery and academic services.
“Due to unforeseen weather
conditions, we were unfortunately unable to host “Vibes on the Island”
last October,” noted Heidi Clarke, Director of Programs for the Sandals
Foundation. “We are so pleased, however, to have rescheduled what
promises to be an energetic and sensational event with top-notch
performers. We are looking forward to a successful evening thanks to the
support of our local and international sponsors, and encourage
Bahamians near and far to come out as we together raise funds for a very
worthy cause.”
