Overseas-based Guyanese Mark Lee handed over a cheque worth $150,000 to the Kashif and Shanghai (K&S) Organization towards the venture that K&S and the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has undertaken, to stage two benefit matches in support of the Haiti Football Federation (HFF) after their losses suffered in the earthquake.

The hand-over was done at the K&S office where Co-Director Kashif Muhammad, was present to accept and he expressed his gratitude on behalf of the organization.
Lee stated that after he read a few articles and saw that the federation and K&S organization were staging an event for such a generous cause he decided to come onboard and give what ever he could
He said it’s great to give to persons in need and any kind of donation to Haiti would be appreciated no matter how small because they lack the infrastructure to rapidly get back on track.
He urged other persons and business entities to support the cause saying, “It is know that Haiti is a poor country so as little as we can or as much as we can help them out with would go a long way.”
The Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) Ground will come alive tonight from 6pm as the first match of the double header kicks off then the feature contest gets underway at 8 pm.
In match one Pele will meet Bakewell Top XX while the feature match has 2009/2010 Kashif and Shanghai Football Champions, BK International Western Tigers going head to head with the runner up Alpha United.
