Flow Foundation donates $750,000 to three schools
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Flow Foundation is to donate $750,000 in book vouchers to three schools following the conclusion of its “Every Six Is a Give Back” initiative during the Jamaica leg of the 2026 Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
In a release, the foundation said the donation will benefit Aberdeen High School in St Elizabeth, Anchovy Primary School in St James and Grange Hill High School in Westmoreland.
Each school will receive $250,000 in book vouchers to help parents and students purchase educational materials for the new school year.
As part of Flow’s sponsorship of the CPL, the foundation pledged $10,000 for every six hits during the four matches played at Sabina Park on August 11, 13, 15 and 18.
Players hit 71 sixes during the matches, generating $710,000. The Flow Foundation subsequently increased the contribution to $750,000.
Rhys Campbell, executive director of the Flow Foundation, said the initiative demonstrated how brand partnerships could be used to create social impact.
“Every Six Is a Give Back allowed us to take the excitement and reach of CPL cricket and translate it into tangible support for students and families. Education remains a central pillar of the Flow Foundation’s mandate, and we are proud to use our platforms and partnerships in innovative ways to help young people access the resources they need to succeed,” said Campbell.
Dr Nelissa Ashley-Brooks, vice-principal of Aberdeen High School, welcomed the contribution, saying it would provide timely assistance to students and their families.
“This donation will make a meaningful difference for our students, particularly for families facing the financial pressures that come with preparing for a new school year,” she said.
“Access to books and other educational resources is essential to ensuring that students are equipped and ready to learn. We sincerely thank the Flow Foundation for including Aberdeen High School in this initiative and for using the excitement of cricket to create an educational opportunity for families.”
The “Every Six Is a Give Back” initiative formed part of Flow’s wider CPL sponsorship platform, which seeks to connect cricket with community development and education.
