Broadway to Barbados
Diamonds International in association with the Broadway to Barbados 2017 Charitable Trust, hosted its 5th Anniversary Celebration in aid of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) at the Frank Collymore Hall.
The Broadway to Barbados Charitable Trust aids in raising funds to continue to support the needs of the Medical Intensive Care Unit, initiate new support to the Accident and Emergency (A&E), develop a specialised Asthma Unit and cater to the needs of the QEH Ambulance service amongst other things.
Managing director of lead sponsor Diamonds International in Barbados Jacob Hassid said, “For the longest time we at Diamonds International were involved in many charities and we thought that it was about time that we had something more that belongs to us, that we will have a little bit more involvement in. We thought that the Broadway show was a perfect vehicle, I asked Mr. Bourque, who was the founder of that show, if he would want to do it – and he decided to do it.”
Chairman of the Broadway to Barbados Charitable Trust Robert Bourque stated, “After discussions with myself and the Hassid’s, we decided that assisting the Queen Elizabeth Hospital as a public sector partnership, would cater to the general population of Barbados, and therefore, we felt that this was a very worthwhile initiative to pursue, especially in the area of health care.”
The event from beginning to end captivated the audiences attention with superb performances by Broadway stars Lawrence Clayton, who is an award winner for his Broadway Revival production of “the Color Purple”, NYC based, Brook Wood, Rita Harvey and Maximilian Sangerman amongst others.
