Freeport, Grand Bahama
- Just a few months ago the current Miss Universe Bahamas,
Tomii Culmer lost a very close relative who was born with the AIDS virus. Upon
invitation to this year’s Red Rose Ball as a guest presenter the beauty queen
wanted to do more than just show up.
With just a weeks notice she contacted the
management of Sawyer's Fresh Market requesting the use of their property to set
up an area to raise funds. They immediately agreed and also made a donation to
the cause.
Thanks to Reggie Simmons of Imagine Graphics who has been extremely
supportive of Tomii he provided the necessary signage and materials that gave
shoppers a better understanding of what she was doing. For a total of eight
hours over the course of two days Tomii along with her brothers Gustavus Cox
and Alfred Anderson had a wonderful time interacting and educating shoppers on
HIV/AIDS and the importance of supporting the AIDS awareness committee.
Odette
Knowles, Chairman of the Red Rose Ball was really pleased with Tomii’s efforts.
On Saturday November 1, 2014, Miss Universe Bahamas presented 100% of proceeds
during this year's Ball.
