A spokesperson said, “The Convex End-to-End celebrated another record-breaking year, awarding $275,000 in grants to local charities at its annual awards ceremony held at the Hamilton Princess. Since the event’s inception in 1988, it has donated over $7 million to charities serving the Bermuda community.
“Five major grants of $50,000 each were awarded to:
