Digicel and the Caribbean Talented Teen Pageant: A perfect combination

Digicel has partnered with the local organizers of Digicel Caribbean Talented Teen Pageant; formerly the Miss Leeward Island Talented Teen Pageant, as its new Platinum Sponsor.

The pageant has been renamed to reflect interest and participation from countries outside of the Leeward Islands. New comers from St. Lucia, Grenada, Trinidad & Tobago and St. Vincent will join the annual representatives from Antigua & Barbuda, St. Maarten and St. Martin, St. Kitts & Nevis, B.V.I., U.S.V.I, Montserrat and the host country Anguilla.

“We are very excited to be a part of this local initiative with a regional outreach and positive impact. Our commitment to the Digicel Caribbean Talented Teen Pageant is long-term and comprehensive as we value the overall premise of the pageant which seeks to build self-esteem and confidence in the girls, exclaims Stephenie Brooks, Market Manager for Digicel.

Organizers, Romare Kelsick and Karl Woodley laude its platinum sponsor, “We want to thank Digicel, for its firm commitment to the cultural and educational development of our youth locally and regionally.”

Local talented teen representative, OluFunmike Banks-Devonish, says, “Having Digicel as the platinum sponsor means that the pageant’s future is secure and upcoming contestants will benefit from Digicel’s long-term commitment to the social development of the region’s teens.”

The show scheduled for Saturday, May 27^th, 2006 at the Landsome Bowl Cultural Center is very popular and draws a supportive and enthusiastic crowd.
