GABF intensifies CBC outreach

… launches online donation

THE GUYANA Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) is being more than proactive in its quest to ensure Guyana participates at this year’s Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) Championship which is set to bounce off on July 1 in the British province of Tortola. President Nigel Hinds had previously stated that it would cost his administration US$60 000 to take both male and female teams to the event and as such, the country’s governing body of the sport has launched an online drive to gather support from the Guyanese community, especially reaching out to those overseas.
“The idea is to get everyone involved as much as possible. It’s not easy but I believe that they are good people out there who are willing to help us out. All we’re asking for is US$25 per donation and it’s simple. You go to the Guyana Basketball website and just follow the line and procedure of payment,” Hinds said.
At the time of this report, the GABF’s donation drive stood at $US750 out of just 10 donors and commenting on it, Hinds opined that his optimism of public support is strong.
Guyana are placed in Group B in the Men’s Championship alongside U.S. Virgin Islands, hosts BVI and Barbados while in the women’s category; they are placed alongside Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and St Vincent and the Grenadines.
