THE Berbice Bridge Company Inc. (BBCI), last Tuesday donated a cheque and one trophy to the Disabled People’s Network in Region No. 5 for the first prize of the organisation’s fundraising football competition.
The cheque for G$20,000 was handed over by Mr. Amarnauth Singh, Administrative Supervisor, BBCI.
Upon receiving a letter in March from the Disabled People’s Network Region No. 5 requesting a donation for the first prize of its fund-raising football competition, the BBCI was pleased to make the donation towards the cause, since the proceeds will be used to promote awareness in the Berbice area of people living with disabilities.
The company has supported the Disabled People’s Network Region No. 5 immensely over the years (2012 – 2014), and has played an integral part in the development of education, sports, supported national events and made donations to charitable and non – charitable organisations in Regions5 and 6.
The BBCI had also sponsored events in other counties and as far as the hinterland and has sponsored many events that benefited the communities both on the eastern and western sides of the Berbice River Bridge.
For the year 2015, the company has so far received 49 public relations requests and managed to approve 44 of these requests comprising sponsorships of Mashramani 2015 events, donations of trophies to various Non – profit and educational institutions, facilitated tours of various schools and waived toll charges for tour buses.
