Sandals Foundation Spreads Christmas Cheer to Hundreds of kids with Annual Toy Drive

#TurksandCaicos, December 21, 2017 – Providenciales – The donations were sponsored through the Sandals Foundation- the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts International- which supports community, environment and educational causes within the Caribbean region.

Public Relations Manager of Beaches Turks & Caicos, Elanor Krzanowski, commented on the successful toy drive.   “It’s always a pleasure to spread holiday cheer,” She continued, “With all that has happened this year, we wanted to make the little ones feel extra special.  We’re happy to partner with the schools and the various organizations in making the holidays brighter for children of the Turks and Caicos Islands.”

Toys were donated to the entire student body of the Enid Capron Primary School – the hotel’s sponsored school-where students were treated to toys and treats during a Christmas party hosted by the hotel’s staff and Sandals Foundation volunteers.

 “On behalf of Enid Capron Primary School, staff, students and parents, we are eternally gratefully to Beaches Turks and Caicos for their kind donation in the form of the annual toy drive,” said Sophia Garland, Principal at Enid Capron.

Garland continued; “We do appreciate the fact that our students matter to this resort as a corporate citizen.   Our parents and students are appreciative of the happiness that giving and receiving brings.   We continue to thank Beaches Resort for their continued support to our institution.”

For a consecutive year, the hotel also brought cheer to the Living Word Center Ministries through donation of toys.

Bishop Alvin Harvey expressed; “We really appreciate the help from Beaches which helps to make our Christmas Party happen every year.   It was very good, we used the toys at our annual Christmas ceremony and the donations helped us to reach our goals.”

The hotel also makes a donation to the National Cancer Society.  “Beaches have always been one of our corporate sponsors,” commented Rosemary Jolly, President of the National Cancer Society of the TCI.   “Beaches is always very supportive. Today we are very grateful for the offer of toys to the children through the National Cancer Society.   Elanor (Beaches PR Manager) offered these toys without even asking here.   Knowing that we decided to give toys this year from proceeds of In the Pink to the children, this will go a long way and we are very appreciative to Beaches for its constant support of our initiatives.”
