International Cricketer & St. Lucian hero, Daren Sammy, officially launched the Daren Sammy Foundation with a black tie gala at the Sandals Grande St. Lucian Spa & Beach Resort.
Ever passionate about youth development through sports, and Sammy, being a shining example of how hard work and discipline pays off, spoke with great anticipation about how the Foundation will change the lives of many young Saint Lucians.
The launch which saw attendees from major corporate sponsors, public sector agencies and specially invited guests, were treated to performances by young, local artistes and a documentary that chronicled the life of Daren Sammy, from his humble beginnings to stardom within the world of Professional Cricket.
The Daren Sammy Foundation seeks to make a difference in the lives of under-privileged athletes- through the donations of Private & Corporate Citizens- by supporting youth development through sports by way of the provision of educational and sporting supplies annually, the development of mentorship programs for budding champions and by making a meaningful investment in other sporting disciplines across the island.
Recipients of the grant will be selected through a strict criteria. Details of the Foundation can be accessed at darensammyfoundation.org.
