Recently, Cane Bay Cares had the privilege of supporting both the St. Croix District and Virgin Islands’ Territorial Spelling Bees, events that celebrate the linguistic talents of our youth.
It warmed our hearts to learn that our contribution supported the Virgin Islands Department of Education in purchasing prizes, gifts, and other tokens to make this year’s spelling bee events unforgettable experiences for the participating children.
Prizes and gifts included computers, tablets, Bluetooth earbuds, trophies, medals, and other paraphernalia.

We were deeply honored to receive a certificate of appreciation from VIDE for our involvement in the Bees. This acknowledgment goes a long way in affirming our commitment to making a positive impact in education within our community.
At Cane Bay Cares, we understand the importance of nurturing the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators. By investing in education and supporting events like the Spelling Bee, we hope to send a strong message to our youth: You are necessary; you are valued; and we’re rooting for you to reach your full potential.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to VIDE for their partnership and to all the spellers, teachers, and families who participated. Together, we’re bolstering platforms that foster learning and growth for the young people in our community.

Cane Bay Cares is a service initiative of St. Croix-based Cane Bay Partners VI, LLLP. Cane Bay Cares was established after three strong hurricanes, including two Category 5 storms, Irma and Maria, caused much damage to St. Croix during September 2017. The initiative has a goal of providing relief to the citizens of St. Croix. To make this possible, we have partnered with St. Croix Foundation, which is a 501c3 nonprofit that was established in 1990. All donations to Cane Bay Cares are donations to St. Croix Foundation and are 100% tax deductible.
Cane Bay Partners VI, LLLP was formed in June 2009 and founded by internationally experienced business executives with many years of experience in the financial services industry. Focusing our efforts primarily in the financial services industry, our management consulting practice specializes in providing services to clients in need of sophisticated risk management models, debt collections organizations which require liquidation models and analytics, and portfolio management companies desiring a variety of services.
Since 1990, St. Croix Foundation for Community Development has been advancing holistic community development as a pathway to economic prosperity, self-sufficiency, and sustainability. Established in the wake of Hurricane Hugo, today the Foundation is one of the premier place-based philanthropic leaders in the Virgin Islands. Having served as the conduit of over $37 million private and public sector dollars invested into the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Foundation’s impact has netted national recognition in almost every priority area – from economic development and community revitalization to public health, education reform, and nonprofit development. Our mission is to encourage greater philanthropic activity, to marshal resources, and to act as a catalyst to benefit the people of the Virgin Islands.
