‘In spite of the challenging weather conditions, we still managed to raise a respectable amount and it was inspiring to once again witness the generosity of Cayman’s community – we are always delighted by the willingness of residents to show their support and reach in their pockets for a worthy cause,’ commented dms Social Committee Member Naomi Mitten.
Tickets were sold in advance amongst dms’ 175 employees for $5. For residents who showed up on the day of the event, cars were washed for free in hopes of receiving a donation. Volunteers posted themselves at vantage points surrounding the entrance to Royal Palms as they urged passers-by to take advantage of a complimentary car wash and solicited donations from those whose schedules did not permit the time to stop, but still wished to make a contribution.
‘We were pleasantly surprised by the number of generous donations which we received from passers-by who did not have the time to stop, but still showed their support in making a contribution. Ultimately, the success of events such as this, rely on the charitableness and kind-heartedness of the local community,’ added Naomi.
Volunteers sported their dms shirts with a team spirit to match.
‘The enthusiasm and energy of all who volunteered was riveting and it was a very rewarding experience. We would also like to thank Ambassador Enterprise Ltd. for donating eco-friendly soap for the car wash – ideal for paying homage to our Go Green commitment,’ added Naomi.
