President and Managing Director of Kerzner International Bahamas George Markantonis presented the $500,000 check to Deputy Prime Minister Brent Symonette and Director of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) Stephen Russell at the NEMA office in the Churchill Building.
Markantonis said the donation was made on behalf of Kerzner International’s Principal Sol Kerzner and the associates of Atlantis Resort and the One and Only Ocean Club.
He said the money was to assist NEMA in its relief efforts in those islands badly hit by Hurricane Irene “to get these islands back where they need to be.”
