Boys & Girls Brigades Raise $2,519 For Charity
The Bermuda Boys’ Brigade and the Church Girls’ Brigade recently worked together at their annual Christmas Car Wash & Christmas Sale to raise $2,519 for charity.
A spokesperson said, “On Saturday, December 3, 2022, the Bermuda Boys’ Brigade and the Church Girls’ Brigade worked together at their annual Christmas Car Wash & Christmas Sale at St. Paul’s Church car park and church hall in Paget.
“The Boys’ Brigade and Church Girls’ Brigade members worked hard with their families, friends, and leaders to raise funds to brighten up the homes of some of Bermuda’s children and families. As a result, this year the Brigades were able to deposit $2,519 into The Family Centre Hardship BELCO account, so that families in great need can receive support.”
The Family Centre’s Executive Director, Dr Sandy De Silva, said, “Words cannot express how honoured we feel to have the continual support of the Church Girls’ and the Bermuda Boys’ Brigade to support our families in need of financial relief towards keeping the lights on. We are humbled and grateful for the hard work and generosity of all of you.”
The spokesperson said, “Our next car wash will be at our annual fair on Saturday, May 13, 2023 from 9.00am to 4.00pm at St. Paul’s Church car park in Paget. The Church Girls’ Brigade meet on Thursday evenings and the Boys’ Brigade on Friday evenings in the Christian Education Centre.”
