Free football summer camps

(CNS): The Cayman Islands Football Association (CIFA) is holding a series of youth football camps over the summer, and thanks to corporate sponsors such as FirstCaribbean International Bank, the camps are completely free of charge. This year there will be four camps held across the Cayman Islands: one in George Town, one in North Sound, one in Cayman Brac, and one that is open to disabled children.

Kennedy Ebanks, accepting the donation on behalf of CIFA, explained in a release from the bank, “These annual football camps have been running since 1984. They are free for boys and girls between 6 and 16 years of age. The kids receive a free t-shirt, lunch each day and a souvenir ball at the end of the camp.”

Making the donation for FirstCaribbean was Patrick Cover, Corporate Relationship Manager. “These camps perform an important community service and FirstCaribbean International Bank is proud to join with the other sponsors to ensure they remain free of charge to Caymanian families,” he said, adding that as long time supporters of the Lighthouse School, FirstCaribbean knows how important it is to have one of these camps focused on the needs of disabled youth, who are too often overlooked.
