LIV Bermuda Helps Raise Money For BBBS
Organized and owned by DeShae DeShields, in partnership with Leyde St. Leger, LIV Bermuda is a locally produced event that attracts international visitors to the island to ‘experience Bermuda like a local,’ while also helping to raise money for Big Brother Big Sisters [BBBS].
A spokesperson said, “Visitors experience Bermuda ‘like a local’, enjoying events such a raft ups, beach parties and boat cruises. This year the LIV Bermuda weekend will be kick off on Friday, July 7 and run through until Sunday, July 9, 2017.”
“As a former Big Sister, Ms. DeShields has dedicated part proceeds from this year’s event to support Big Brothers Big Sisters Bermuda [BBBS].”
Ms. DeSheilds said, “When I returned home from university I immediately applied to become a ‘Big’ because I wanted to have a positive impact on the youth in our community. I was blessed to be paired with a special young lady who changed my life forever.”
“Years later BBBS is still close to Ms. DeShields heart and she is not only putting her money where her mouth is but also encouraging others to get involved as well.
“Leading up to LIV’s events in July, she will be hosting a series of free monthly events across the island. The next one will be held on this Friday, May 5th at Spring Gardens from 9pm.”
“Music will be provided by DJ iBreeze and DJ Hersey of King Jyrus, and DJ Kuane and DJ ShowOff.
“Donation buckets will be circulated in support of BBBS and information will be distributed for individuals interested in becoming a mentor.”
“We are very grateful to DeShae and the team of LIV Bermuda for selecting BBBS to be the recipient of part proceeds of their upcoming events,” said Patrina O’Connor-Paynter Managing Director of BBBS,
“We appreciate DeShae’s commitment to our organization. She will always be a part of the BBBS Family.”
