Committee chairwoman and Hamilton Re CFO Vanessa Hardy Pickering said in a statement: “We are very pleased to support these fine organisations, who are all doing important work in our community.
“The focus of our committee’s giving is to contribute to the wellbeing of Bermuda’s families. By funding educational, arts, sports and social programmes, we believe we are offering our young people the opportunity for well-rounded growth and development.
“We congratulate the board members, staff and volunteers involved with these non-profits, and commend them for their commitment to our Island.”
Hamilton’s employees in Bermuda also chose the SPCA and Masterworks as recipients of funds raised at their annual holiday party in December. Employee donations were matched by the company. They further participated in the Centre on Philanthropy’s corporate Give Back Games, choosing the BSMART Development Foundation to receive funds donated as a result of the team’s participation.
