Promoting Literacy
Cane Bay Cares was given the opportunity to support the USVI Literary Festival and Book Fair “VI LitFest” and did not hesitate to help.
VI LitFest is an annual event held on St. Croix and was created to promote literacy within the U. S. Virgin Islands. This year was the 9th anniversary of the festival and it certainly delivered on its mission by featuring local and visiting authors; offering presentations and workshops; hosting reading sessions; and organizing a poetry competition. Congratulations to Bry’Nice Berley, a senior at St. Croix Central High School. Bry’Nice won the poetry competition with her ekphrastic poem titled “Renewed Hope” describing Alexis Camarena’s artwork (pictured above).
Cane Bay Cares enjoys sponsoring events like these, which have such a positive impact on our entire community.
Compliments to the VI LitFest committee- this year’s festival was a success!
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.
