The Berbice Bridge Company Inc (BBCI) responded to a request from Edwin Seeraj, Host of the Cricket Info and Quiz Programme for sponsorship for the programmes covering nine limited – overs cricket matches with the senior West Indies, Ireland and England teams and the ICC Twenty/20 World Cup in Bangladesh.
BBCI after discussion, agreed to sponsor all 28 Cricket Info and Quiz Programmes for a total of 44 matches, spread across 28 days, as West Indies cricket has many Guyanese fans.
It also provided several items as ‘giveaways,’ including 5 each of pens caps clocks hot / cold flasks branded with BBCI’s logo.
On February 14, 2014, Bibi F Alli, Administrative Assistant of BBCI handed over the items and a cheque for $140,000 to cover the cost of the Cricket Info and Quiz Programmes to Seeraj.
