Three groups receive Afl. 1,000 each
A Tropical carnival donation will support three children’s carnival groups with Afl. 1,000 each, according to a November 12 report by 24ora. Tropical Bottling Company announced the contribution at Balashi Beer Experience during the renewal of its cooperation with SMAC for Carnival 73.
Company responds to funding difficulties
Commercial director Jo-Anne Arends said the contribution followed a discussion with SMAC several weeks earlier about difficulties facing some children’s groups. She linked the support to preserving carnival traditions and helping more children participate.
SMAC welcomes continued cooperation
SMAC president Rusette Croes thanked the company for its contribution. The outlet says the partnership is continuing for a fourth consecutive year. Its report does not name the three recipient groups or specify how each will spend the donation. The cash contribution is distinct from earlier general appeals for children’s carnival funding.
