Freeport, Grand Bahama -The Bahamian Brewery
and Beverage Company quickly donated to the Haitian Relief fund via
Rotary Grand Bahama Sunrise yesterday. The substantial monetary
donation will be channeled through the Rotarian International funding
planned for Haiti.
"This
is a great start for us and will hopefully get the rest of the
community to follow suit," said Jamie Rose, President of the GB Sunrise
Rotary. "Every dollar will go towards the aid as our Rotary group will
be working with the Red Cross Internationally to assure our assistance
gets to the people who need it. The Red Cross are already established
in Haiti and they will be able to make sure the help we send is
distributed properly."
The
earthquake disaster has overwhelmed many in the Bahamian community who
want to help as quickly as they can. "We have all watched the
catastrophic news and we at the brewery are cognizant of how
devastating an effect it has had on our Haitian brothers and sisters,"
noted Donald Delahey, Bahamian Brewery General Manager. "Mr. Sands and
his partners agreed to assist as quickly as they could, they knew that
Rotary with its civic connections would assure that the aid given would
get into the hands of the less fortunate properly and help provide the
correct assistance needed."
Though
this is a huge start for the relief, Rotarians are also planning
additional fundraisers here on the island. Delahey and Rose began
early discussions for a fundraiser to be held at the brewery in the
near future, details will be forthcoming. Persons wishing to assist
via Rotary can contact President Jamie Rose at
