Following an exclusive MAC shopping night focused on health and beauty for its’ female members, Bermuda’s Emerging Professionals [BEPRO] donated part of the event proceeds to CORE Heart Health Centre, a prevention and rehabilitation facility that supports clients looking to improve their overall health and reduce their risk of heart related illnesses; an initiative of the Bermuda Heart Foundation.

Mrs. Simone Barton, Executive Director for the Bermuda Heart Foundation and Core, was presented with a cheque for the funds raised, on Wednesday, 26 March, by LaKea Dill, current Chair of BEPRO at the CORE facility, alongside Deputy Chair Salintae Tuzo-Smith.

Upon receipt, Mrs. Barton expressed her gratitude and enthusiasm over the generous act and encouraged members of the community to come check CORE out for themselves, which is conveniently located in the Chancery Lane.

Interested persons can also visit their website www.mybermudaheart.bm, for more information on all the exciting and beneficial initiatives available at CORE through the hard work of the Bermuda Heart Foundation.

BEPRO’s philanthropic endeavor also touched a member of the community this month with the remaining portion of donations received from the MAC event going to a strong female [who wishes to remain anonymous] battling her third bout with cancer.

The donation was given in the form of a massage certificate for some much needed relaxation and pain relief. The recipient was extremely grateful for the thoughtful gift and extended heartfelt thanks to the BEPRO Board.

A spokesperson said, “BEPRO is dedicated to serving the community whenever possible and continues to encourage emerging professionals to become members for the opportunity to do the same while building upon professional skills and connecting with other driven individuals from various industry backgrounds.

“The BEPRO Board wishes to acknowledge and thank its’ members [and the community] for consistently supporting their initiatives and events. In addition, they would like to thank our sponsors Gibbons Company and Burrows Lightbourn.
