Cup Match Attendees Donate $1200 To Charity
Cup Match attendees donated approximately $1,200 during the recent Cup Match Classic to Project Action, a free transportation service for seniors and the physically challenged.
Co-Founder Mrs Cindy Swan said, “We would like to thank St. George’s Cricket club President Neil Paynter and the organizing committee members for allowing us space to collect donations for Project Action. The stellar volunteers that gave up their holiday hours to come out and support were all amazing.
