Edwin Allen track team gets donation

Recently, Shaun McKenzie, CEO Of Shaun Image Productions, made good on a promise when he made a $25,000 donation to his alma mater, Edwin Allen High School. The money will go towards the school's track team, which this year won their fifth straight girls' title at the 2018 ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys and Girls' Athletics Championships held at the National Stadium. McKenzie is currently overseas, therefore, his ambassadors, Rosan Richards, also known as DUI Browning, and DJ Razack did the road work in his absence.Head coach Michael Dyke was happy with the contribution.

"We at Edwin Allen High accept these contributions with the utmost appreciation, we need these donations to assist the school's track and field team. We are now defending champions and the needs are getting greater," Dyke said. McKenzie said that he sees it fit to give back to his community as this is not only a civic duty but also gives him a sense of pride.

Meanwhile, there was another donation of $20,000 which went towards the James Hill Police Youth Club in Clarendon.
