Camperdown High alumni to raise funds for ‘Adopt a Child’ initiative
Published:Tuesday | October 9, 2018 | 12:00 AM
As part of ongoing efforts to contribute to the welfare of students, Camperdown High alumni continue in their quest to raise funds for their 'Adopt a Child' programme, with its annual fundraising weekend of activities in October.
Launched in 2010, 'Adopt a Child' gives the alumni a platform to alleviate some of the needs of students of the institution financially. The support given by the alumni is usually in the form of assistance with school fees, uniform, books and lunch expenses, among other necessities.
Later this month, the group will be hosting a series of fundraising activities, which is designed to engage all patrons in events geared to meet the interests and tastes of persons from all walks of life while offering an opportunity for supporting a worthy cause.
WEEKLY EVENTS
On Friday, October 19, the first event for the weekend will kick off with an unforgettable party experience dubbed Denim and Diamond, to be held at Escape 24/7 Bar and Grill in New Kingston.
On Saturday, October 20 will be the gala dinner and Hall of Flame (fame) at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel. The special guest for the night will be the eloquent Earl Jarrett, chief executive officer of the Jamaica National Group.
To cool things down, water lovers can look forward to Pon Di River, a riverside party at Boone Hall Oasis on Sunday, October 21. The cost of admission includes a meal and drink.
Support of the events will ensure that the 'Adopt a Child' continues, as it is often merited for enabling the positive outcome of beneficiaries. The programme has, on occasions, been expanded to support graduates to assist with tertiary-level tuition.
