Freeport, Bahamas - The Grand Bahama Port Authority, Limited and Group of Companies understand the importance of the role of a corporate sponsor. Therefore, it was without hesitation, that the Group formed a team of employees, who were willing to lace up their sneakers and participate in the Lucayan International School’s (LIS) 5K fund raising efforts in aid of The Grand Bahama Children’s Home.

This past Saturday, commencing and finishing at Banana Bay restaurant, 8 employees were sponsored by the Group to take part in the run. Spear headed by LIS Head of Science, Mr. Lee Rawlison, the school’s first annual ‘L.I.S. Turkey Trot’, through numerous sponsorships, hosted an event which was 100% pure profit.

“For over 30 years our company has played a vital role in the administrative and maintenance support extended to The Grand Bahama Children’s Home. Members of our Group are thrilled at yet another opportunity, this time by running, to once again aid in the fund raising efforts of one of our island’s vital child care institutions,” shares Ginger Moxey, Vice President of The Grand Bahama Port Authority Limited and Group of Companies.

The Grand Bahama Children’s Home is a nonprofit organization that provides community support to children in need of care and protection. The Grand Bahama Port Authority Limited and Group of Companies would like to remind the public that we all must do our part to support charitable organizations, as we all play a crucial role to better the lives of the Grand Bahama community.
