BEPRO Donates To Smith Family’s Medical Fund

May 17, 2014

Following a successful networking event, Bermuda’s Emerging Professionals [BEPRO] donated funds given by attendees for a charitable cause, to the Smith family in aid of Mrs. Kamala Smith’s necessary medical expenses accrued as the young wife and mother continues in her battle with cancer.

A cheque for the received funds was presented to Mr. Nakia Smith, Mrs. Smith’s husband, on May 15th at The Bermuda Chamber of Commerce by Sharmaine Landy, current Marketing and Communications Director for BEPRO; alongside a close family friend and former BEPRO Board member. Mr. Smith expressed genuine gratitude upon receipt, stating ‘every little bit counts,’ and thanked the organization for their selfless contribution.

A spokesperson said, “As you may recall BEPRO also reached out to another member of the community dealing with cancer earlier this year in an effort to assist in making their ‘fight’ a little less stressful and the organization is happy to report that the individual is improving significantly and growing stronger every day.

“BEPRO is extremely dedicated to serving the community whenever possible and continues to push community involvement amongst its membership of emerging and established professionals. The organization wholeheartedly believes that selfless giving in all forms is equally as important as building professional skills while creating valuable network connections.

“BEPRO would also like to take this time to encourage the community to support the upcoming Relay for Life initiative in aid of funding crucial cancer research.”
