It's official - The Jaleel Cameron Foundation
That machine is a key piece of equipment in use at Peebles Hospital. It which was purchased with $27,000 donated by Jaleel F. Cameron.
In his passionate move to achieve his most burning desire, Jaleel, surrounded by a team who are no less passionate, officially launched the Jaleel Cameron Foundation with a fundraising dinner at Treasure Isle on June 3, 2017. There he made the announcement of his next move.
Present at that ceremony were Premier and Minister of Finance Dr The Honourable D. Orlando Smith (AL), Minister for Education and Culture Honourable Myron V. Walwyn (AL), Junior Minister for Tourism Honourable Archibald C. Christian (AL), Chief Executive Officer of the BVI Health Service Authority (BVIHSA) Ms Paula G. Chester-Cumberbatch and administrative staff, in addition to the Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of BVIHSA Ms Ayana I. Glasgow-Liburd, Justice Leon Barry, Director of Cedar International School Mr Scott Crawford among many others.
President of the Foundation Mrs Mayfield Daniels told the gathering that they are primarily set up to advocate on behalf of persons suffering from or affected by epilepsy and for the remainder of this year will focus around the areas of alliances and partnerships, fundraising, awareness and support.
Dying wish fulfilled
Team Jaleel was moved by the support they received from Ms Hyacinth Percival, who on her dying bed requested that all monies collected at her funeral service be given to Jaleel. This was done and was the first official donation to the Jaleel Cameron Foundation. For that gesture, the Foundation presented her daughter, Attorney at Law Mary-Lou Creque, with a plaque and memory wall picture in her honour.
Jaleel also launched his website www.jaleelcfoundation.com where persons can track the progress of the Foundation, join and make donations and pledges.
Making a donation to the Foundation at its launch was Miss BVI World through its beauty with a purpose humanitarian component. The presentation was made to Jaleel by the reigning queen Ms Kadia Turnbull. The organisation had honoured Jaleel, naming him philanthropist of the year at their inaugural philanthropic award ceremony. Last night's programme was chaired by franchise holder for the Miss BVI World Mr Damion C. Grange.
