That is factually incorrect. The event was primarily a community event initiated by Barry Gibbons of Souljahonemusik and his extended family, for the 3rd year. Donations were both financial and ‘in kind’ including food, tents, gift bags etc. Politically, both the PLP and OBA assisted with financial donations. MP Richards sponsored the games and Senator Anthony Richardson was responsible for the 5 free jet skis that were provided by Antwan Albouy. The jet skis allowed many children (and adults) to have their first jet ski rides across Harrington Sound. PLP branch #7 also provided a financial donation. Overall, a good example of the community working together. Again – congratulations to Barry for his community vision.
