Sammy Foundation Marks a Decade of Impact: Celebrating 30 Scholarship Recipients

The Daren Sammy Foundation (DSF) has extended its support to over two dozen families for the upcoming academic year, celebrating its 10th annual scholarship event this week. Marking a decade of philanthropy, DSF acknowledges its ongoing partnership with Republic Bank, facilitated through the Power To Make A Difference (PMAD) Programme, now in its third year. Cathy Daniel-Sammy, DSF's vice president, expressed enthusiasm in providing assistance to those in need. "Ten years ago, we awarded 10 scholarships; today, we are privileged to grant 30, thanks to Republic Bank's support," she stated. Founded by two-time World Cup champion Daren Sammy, this scholarship initiative honors exceptional students who exhibit commitment, hard work, and a love for sports. Scholarships of $2,500 for secondary and tertiary students, and $1,500 for primary pupils, cover vital educational expenses. By this year, the foundation has awarded scholarships valued at over EC$300,000 to more than 150 recipients, with a golf tournament set for August 29 as its principal fundraiser.
