At a simple ceremony held recently, the organizing committee of the Guyana Independence T20 Cup 2014 made presentations to several charitable organizations with proceeds garnered from the tournament. The third edition was a joint fundraiser of The Berbice Cricket Board and The Berbice Chambers of Commerce and Development Association.
In an invited comment, Anil Beharry, the chairman of the committee and the first Vice President of the Berbice Cricket Board, said that he was happy to report that the tournament was a resounding success despite the challenges faced. He said that his noble fundraiser is here to stay and will continue to assist the less fortunate in our communities. He thanked the sponsors for the faith shown and commended the players and fans for their support. He also thanked all the media houses for their excellent coverage.
Mark Roopnarine, president of the Chambers and a member of the organizing committee, echoed the sentiments of Beharry and promised a bigger event come next year. He added that planning for the 2015 edition would commence soon. Ramroop Rajnauth also spoke on behalf of the Chambers, while Angela Haniff spoke on behalf of the BCB. Event treasurer, Chris Hicks, gave a detailed financial report.
Donations were made to The Chambers, BCB, two cricket clubs, The Upper Corentyne Cricket Association and the Blairmont Cricket Club, Bal Nivas, a new shelter at Port Mourant, Alpha Home, Canaan Home and Children of Promise.
