Caribbean American Cultural Arts Foundation Hosts Fundraiser for the Grand Bahama Children's Home

ATLANTA - EntSun -- The Caribbean American Cultural Arts Foundation, Inc., will host a fundraising reception to support children of The Bahamas following Hurricane Dorian. It will take place Thursday, November 21^st at the Commerce Club, 191 Peachtree Street NE, 49^th Floor, Atlanta, GA 30303 6-8p.m. The event comes as the people of The Bahamas prepare to mark 90-days since the deadly and devastating storm ravaged the Caribbean island chain. Proceeds will benefit The Grand Bahama Children's Home. Good Day Atlanta Anchor, Sharon Lawson, will host the night that will feature a special State of the Bahamas message from Bahamas Consul General of Atlanta, Astra Armbrister-Rolle.

The reception will support efforts to reopen The Grand Bahama Children's Home. The facility, which has been in operation since 1977, provides warm beds, delicious meals, access to education and play areas to orphaned children. In September when the storm hit and flood waters rose, the children at the Grand Bahama Children's home were evacuated to a shelter where they would be safe. Their building was no match for the sheer force of the storm's winds and floods. Once the storm passed, the aftermath revealed a total loss of all items inside with damages to the building. From refrigerators, stoves to toys, books and toothbrushes, the children need items and monetary support to restore normalcy.

Caribbean American Cultural Arts Foundation Chairman, Michael Thomas said, "Having lived through deadly hurricanes, I know how storms can disrupt and destroy everyday life. As adults, we can figure out how to move on but for children the adjustment can be more challenging and add the issue of being an orphan and it complicates matters even more," he continued "That's why it is so important for us to step up and help restore daily life for these precious children."

The Bahamas Consul General Atlanta, Astra Armbrister-Rolle, will also use the occasion to share what has been done with donations from tens of thousands of people across Atlanta. She will explain how the government has moved quickly and efficiently to take care of its citizens. She will also highlight details on the return of public services and utilities and share major announcements on alliances and partnerships within the business and health industries on the islands. "I'm proud to see the community standing strong with The Bahamas. This is a beautiful example of the village healing itself and I am grateful to the organizers for what they are doing to help," said Armbrister-Rolle.

Tickets are $50 for non-members of the Commerce Club and free to members. They can be purchased at www.culturaltickets.com and additional donations can be made at www.caribbeanculturalarts.org. Media interested in covering the event can contact kaliah@hentonjonesmedia.com.
