On January 3, 2009, the Shaggy and Friends concert was staged, with Shaggy as host, promoter, show producer and headliner, along with performances from a slew of local and international artistes who donated their talent for the success of the concert and to ultimately benefit the childrens hospital. An unprecedented event where cross sponsorship in media, beverages etc (eg. The Gleaner and the Observer, RJR Group and CVM TV etc) all came together as a force to help the cause. It was a magnificent team effort all around that managed to raise approximately US$270,000 which will help supply only a few of the necessary machines that the hospital so desperately requires. However, with only eight (8) weeks of planning for a show that usually would have taken months to organize, its amazing he and his team pulled it off. The Shaggy & Friends Benefit Concert was the first fundraiser of
his recently established Shaggy Make a Difference Foundation. The event is one which he intends to continue as an annual charity event.
Following the show, the foundation took on the task of sourcing the equipment for the Hospital. Working alongside the CEO, SMO and medical staff at Bustamante, we managed to narrow the list down to pieces which we could afford and would be immediately beneficial to the Hospitals functions. Finding a reputable supplier in the United States responsible for furnishing such hospitals as Jackson Memorial, we worked very closely with them and the Hospital in hopes of securing the best and most up to date refurbished and brand new equipment available. After months of research, deliberation and final selection, the equipment was purchased and arrived this August. The Shaggy & Friends Benefit Concert is slated for Saturday, January 2nd 2010.
