TORONTO, 1 de abril de 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The University of the West Indies (UWI) recaudó aproximadamente US$300.000 en su segunda gala benéfica anual realizada en Toronto el 26 de marzo. La gala homenajeó a personalidades destacadas que hicieron contribuciones importantes a la UWI, y a las comunidades caribeña y canadiense. Entre las personalidades destacadas que fueron homenajeadas, se encuentran: Donovan Bailey; Michael Lee-Chin; La Muy Honorable Michaelle Jean; el Muy Honorable Juez Dr. Irving Andre; el ex Subjefe de la policía de Toronto Keith L. Forde; Kamala-Jean Gopie; el Dr. Karl Massiah y el Dr. John Stewart. También fueron homenajeadas dos organizaciones, entre ellas la Ryerson University, por su contribución al avance del pueblo caribeño a través de sus programas conjuntos con la UWI; y GAP Adventures, por su papel de ampliar las fronteras de los viajes sustentables.  

El beneficio se realizó bajo el patrocinio del Dr. G. Raymond Chang, Presidente saliente de CI Financial, Rector de la Ryerson University y él mismo egresado con honores de la UWI. Las ganancias de la gala de Toronto beneficiarán a los estudiantes a través del Fondo de becas de la UWI y de la Iniciativa haitiana de la UWI.

"La Universidad se siente una vez más conmovida por el gran apoyo recibido por parte de los sectores privado y público canadienses y de la comunidad caribeña canadiense", dijo Elizabeth Buchanan-Hind, Directora Ejecutiva de la División de Avance Institucional de The University of the West Indies. "Estamos agradecidos por las becas que la Universidad ahora podrá otorgar a los estudiantes, provenientes de las ganancias del evento".

Los maestros de ceremonias Hamlin Grange y Valerie Pringle dieron la bienvenida a más de 500 invitados a un evento con entradas agotadas, que se realizó en el Four Seasons Hotel, para una velada en la que se celebró la excelencia; que sirvió para vincularse con otras personas y volver a vincularse; donde hubo música y subastas en vivo y silenciosas. La gala estuvo plena de un espíritu contagioso y de una generosidad arrolladora.

"A través de esta gala, estamos ahora todos unidos como una sola familia UWI", afirmó el Patrocinador de la gala, el Dr. G. Raymond Chang.

La UWI querría agradecer a sus patrocinadores, donantes, voluntarios e invitados por hacer que la Gala benéfica 2011, organizada por la UWI en Toronto, haya sido todo un éxito.

Acerca de la Gala Benéfica de The University of the West Indies en Toronto

Partiendo del éxito de su primera gala benéfica realizada el año pasado y con una comunidad caribeña tan sólida en Canadá, la UWI se esfuerza por desarrollar un evento exitoso que continúe fortaleciendo la relación entre Canadá y el Caribe en los años venideros.

La gala benéfica de 2010, a la cual asistieron 460 personas, se desarrolló con entradas agotadas. Se recaudaron aproximadamente US$230.000, lo que permitió que se entregasen 17 becas a estudiantes necesitados, así como ayuda para sostener a los estudiantes haitianos cuya universidad quedó devastada luego del terremoto.

Entre los homenajeados en el evento inaugural, se encuentran: el Honorable Dr. Harry Belafonte, la Honorable Mayann E. Francis, la Honorable Jean Augustine, la Profesora Dionne Brand, el Sr. Austin Clarke, la Sra. Maud Fuller, el Dr. Herbert Ho Ping Kong, el Dr. Robert Moore, el Sr. David Rudder, Project Advancement Childhood Education (P.A.C.E), Royal Bank of Canada y Scotiabank.

Acerca del Fondo de becas y de la Iniciativa haitiana de The University of the West Indies

Las becas y ayudas del UWI Regional Endowment Fund (UWIREF) (Fondo de donaciones regionales de la UWI) se ofrecen a los estudiantes destacados de la región del Caribe que tienen dificultades para financiar su educación universitaria. Las becas y ayudas se basan en la excelencia académica y en la necesidad económica. The University of the West Indies ha aceptado a numerosos estudiantes haitianos para que completen sus estudios en la sede de Mona, en Jamaica, y en la sede St. Augustine, en Trinidad y Tobago.

Acerca de The University of the West Indies

The University of the West Indies (UWI) fue fundada en 1948 como un college de la University of London. Obtuvo su estatus universitario completo en1962 y hoy es la única institución pancaribeña de nivel terciario que ofrece una amplia gama de programas diversos y acreditados a 40.000 estudiantes de toda la región, con sedes en Barbados, Trinidad y Tobago, Jamaica y en el Caribe oriental.
