PM Bruce Golding and Monsignor Richard Albert join Sesame Characters at the official launch in Jamaica
On March 18, 2009 the Sandals Foundation – the long awaited philanthropic arm of Sandals’ Caribbean resorts – was officially inaugurated with a kickoff celebration at Sandals Cay, the offshore island at Sandals Royal Caribbean, one of Sandals’ most popular Caribbean resorts in Jamaica. Attended by illustrious supporters and enthusiastic contributors to all of the Sandals Foundation’s worthy causes, this event really set the tone for all the wonderful accomplishments and advances that are planned for the future.
Jamaica’s Prime Minister, the Honorable Bruce Golding, delivered a heartfelt speech in which he eloquently described the Sandals Foundation’s strategies designed to introduce much-needed funds, empowerment initiatives and improvements throughout the Caribbean region in the three target areas of community, education and the environment.

Sesame Workshop’s Vice President of Corporate Sponsorship, Anita Stewart signaled her company’s intention to join in our effort, when she pledged their firm resolve to work with the Sandals Foundation to reach out to communities across the Caribbean.
Gordon “Butch” Stewart, Sandals Chairman, presented a generous check to Marilyn Nash of Flankers Peace and Justice Centre (one of our very first projects).
Finally, one of the evening’s greatest highlights came with the announcement, by Foundation Board Chairman Adam Stewart, of our intention to build the world’s first environmentally friendly, Green Globe certified school-an aim which was immediately bolstered by a CDN$50,000 contribution offered by Canada’s Yellow Bird Foundation. This grand example of cooperation perfectly sums up the spirit of uniting forces and working together that underlies the very fabric and goals of the Sandals Foundation.

This event was a great start, yet it was just the beginning. In the days and years to come, we at the Sandals Foundation, with the aid of all of our partners and contributors, intend to implement plans, share ideas and give freely of our time, expertise and resources-in order to help make the Caribbean and the world a healthier, safer, greener and happier place to call home
