Freeport, Bahamas - The recent Roxy Perry concert held in Freeport was a huge success and through funds raised at the event The Bahamas Weekly, Thayer's Natural Remedies and Mackey Media were able to make substantial contributions to two worthy charities in Grand Bahama.
On June 2nd organizers of the event made monetary presentations to both the Grand Bahama Home for the Aged and the Columbus House Big Brother Program run by the Rotary Club GB Sunrise.
The Home for the Aged will be celebrating it's 20th anniversary this October and is always in need of assistance. Mrs. Agatha Thompson will be presenting more information to the community about this special anniversary later this summer.
James Sarles, Director Rotary Club GB Sunrise Columbus House Big Brother Program said "We are very appreciative to Mackey Media, Thayers Natural Remedies, and The Bahamas Weekly for raising funds from the Roxy Perry concert for the Columbus House Big Brother Program. These much needed funds will assist us helping 25 boys and girls from Columbus House with our weekly activities. Thanks again to everyone who was involved in this fantastic concert and we hope to see Roxy Perry back in Grand Bahama Island again soon."
