In the wake of the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa, the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) has pledged a donation of US$100,000 to support relief and rebuilding efforts across Jamaica.This contribution will be made through the Office of the Prime Minister of Jamaica, ensuring that the funds are distributed efficiently and directed to the areas where they are most urgently needed as communities begin the long process of recovery and reconstruction.Recognising Jamaica’s vital role in both Caribbean cricket and the CPL’s history, the league stands in solidarity with all those affected. Many within the CPL family- from players and coaches to staff and fans- have deep ties to Jamaica, making this initiative especially meaningful.In addition to this donation, the CPL will be collaborating with Chris Gayle to amplify his ongoing fundraising efforts. Through its extensive network of social media channels, media partners, and broadcast platforms, the CPL will help raise awareness globally and encourage fans to contribute to the relief initiatives that are supporting those most in need.Pete Russell, Republic Bank CPL’s CEO, said: “The people of Jamaica have always been an integral part of the CPL family – as players, fans, colleagues and friends. Seeing the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa has deeply affected us all. We hope this contribution can offer some support to those rebuilding their lives, and we encourage everyone across the world to dig deep and donate what they can in helping Jamaica recover. We will be working with the Jamaican authorities, our sponsors and franchise teams to continue to see what more can be done to further support Jamaica over the coming months.”Jamaica’s Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, the Honourable Olivia Grange, thanked the CPL for “its very kind support of Jamaica in our time of need. We have been hit hard. Approximately 90,000 families in western Jamaica alone were directly affected by Hurricane Melissa; and we need every support to provide relief. So we’re very grateful for this contribution by the CPL towards the relief effort.”Those wanting to make a donation can visit this link or can scan the below QR code.CPL extends its heartfelt support to the people of Jamaica during this challenging time and remains committed to playing its part in the region’s collective recovery.
