PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT JAMAICA INDEPENDENCE GALA CANCELLATION

Dear Members of the Public,

It is with deep regret that we announce the Jamaica Independence Gala will not be held this year. Due to competing priorities, we have made the difficult decision to forgo this cherished event.

We understand that many of you plan your calendars well in advance, and we wanted to ensure that this announcement was made with ample notice. We deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this time.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for the generous support and funds raised over the past two years. Your contributions have made a significant impact in several areas:

• Scholarships for Students: Your donations have provided numerous students with the opportunity to pursue their education and achieve their dreams.

• Life-Saving Medical Care: Funds raised have supported critical medical interventions and care, saving lives and improving health outcomes for many individuals.

• Community Initiatives: Your generosity has also supported various community initiatives, fostering development and improving the quality of life in our communities.

In addition to supporting these worthy causes, the gala has been a wonderful opportunity for individuals to come together, enjoy themselves, and celebrate our rich heritage and culture. We deeply value the sense of community and joy that the gala has brought to all attendees.

Despite the cancellation of the gala, we are excited to share that several other activities are being planned to commemorate Jamaica’s 62nd Year of Independence. We invite you to stay tuned for further announcements and updates on these upcoming events.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We look forward to celebrating with you in new and meaningful ways.

Sincerely,
