With the recent start-up of the Soccer Season for the Primary Schools, Cayman National was quick to respond to a ‘plea for help’ in providing support for the young enthusiastic soccer team - The Golden Eagles from First Baptist Christian School.

On behalf of the team, Coach Greg Simcoe thanked Cayman National for their gracious donation. He went on to say, “This money will be used to purchase soccer equipment that was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan. Our under 9 and under 11 teams both finished third place in the Inter-Primary Soccer League last year, with participation of over 50 students from our school.

“This donation will provide our school with the opportunity to again have another successful season this year. First Baptist Christian School applauds Cayman National for their support of our school soccer programme”.

In responding to the request for support, Claudia Welds, Cayman National’s Corporate Communications Senior Executive said: “It is so encouraging to note that life for our children and young people are getting back to normal after all that has happened with the passage of Hurricane Ivan.

“Their precious little lives were certainly traumatized during this time, and it is important that we are all involved in doing whatever it takes to bring back stability and tranquility to them. There is certainly the need to provide an avenue for them to positively expend all of the energy they have, and what better way to do this than by building team spirit through sports.”

“We wish Coach Simcoe and the Golden Eagles’ team another successful season and we are once again pleased to have been able to contribute towards their goals.”
