More than a dozen teams, mainly from the group’s South Windward community, are expected to be competing in the tournament, which is scheduled to commence this weekend.

The cheque was presented to Kezron Walters, chair of the North Union Cricket Club, by Business Support officer and Employee Engagement champion/Corporate Banking Jacintha Hinds.

Also receiving a donation from the bank last week was the Paragon Model Management group, for the hosting of the ‘Carnival Couture: Where Fashion Meets Mas’ fashion show.

The event, which blended costumes from a number of the country’s Carnival mas bands and top local designers, was hailed as a success and organizers thanked CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank for the financial contribution.

Hinds noted that the donations were in ­keeping with the bank’s corporate social responsibility, and wished the best for the upcoming cricket competition. She congratulated the costume and clothing designers, models and organizers of the fashion show for a job well done.
