128
golfers signed up for the 22nd Annual Red Cross Charity Golf
Tournament

George
Town, Cayman Islands, September 7, 2019
– Close to 130 competitors vying for bragging rights and amazing
prizes gathered at the North Sound Golf Club on Friday September 6th
in support of the 22nd Annual Red Cross Golf Tournament.

Vice
Chair of the Board of the Cayman Islands Red Cross Doug Moffat said
that while the afternoon was about fun and friendly competition, the
tournament was the main fundraising event for the programs and
services Red Cross provides.

“By
sponsoring and playing this tournament, you enable us to continue to
provide First Aid and CPR training, Disaster Management training,
Child Protection and Sexual Abuse education, Volunteer Development
and Thrift Shop services to support the people of the Cayman
Islands,” Mr. Moffat said.

Deputy
Governor of the Cayman Islands, Franz Manderson thanked the Red Cross
for being there for the people of the Cayman Islands during Hurricane
Ivan in 2004. He noted that the catastrophic impact of hurricane
Dorian on the Bahamas, demonstrated how important it is to support
international organizations like the Red Cross.

He
thanked CIBC FirstCaribbean for leading the way and ensuring that
non-governmental organizations (NGOs), like the Red Cross, have the
sufficient resources needed to meet their obligations.

The
bank’s Managing Director Mark McIntyre said, “Since 2002, CIBC
FirstCaribbean has contributed to the various arms of the Red Cross
organization including funding and organizing internal clothing
drives for the Thrift Shop annually and becoming the first
Humanitarian Partner in the Shelter for the Storm campaign. Both
serving the most vulnerable populations in our community.”

He
added, “Securing the golf tournament as an additional avenue of
support is definitely a hole-in-one for CIBC FirstCaribbean and we
certainly see this as a potential long term partnership with mutual
benefits for many years to come.”

The
Cayman Islands Red Cross is accepting monetary contributions and
volunteer assistance to support the people of the Bahamas affected by
Hurricane Dorian. Visit redcross.org.ky to learn more.
