​
NCVO Children Services were the main beneficiaries of this years gala and the monies raised will go directly to assist their specific funding needs. The money raised on the night was matched by the R3 Foundation, whose Principal is His Excellency The Governor, Martin Roper and this money will be dispersed to other charitable organizations in the Cayman Islands.
​
The Green Tie Charitable Association was founded with the sole purpose of giving back. The annual Green Tie Gala allows those of us fortunate enough to call the Cayman Islands home, the opportunity to raise much needed funds for a worthy cause.

NOEL WATKINS FUNDRAISER,
GOLF INVITATIONAL AND DINNER
November 20, 2020
Noel Watkins is an Irish man living in the Cayman Islands for the last 12 years with his wife, Christine and their two children. Up until the middle of last year, he was incredibly fit and healthy man.
On Monday 1st June, 2020, his doctor sent him for additional tests having received troubling blood test results. At the hospital, scans revealed a large tumor which was almost entirely encasing the right side of his heart and blocking most of the blood flow through the heart chambers. Specialists in the local hospital performed emergency surgery on Noel that night, removing most of the tumor and replacing one of the valves in his heart. Biopsy results following the surgery revealed the condition to be a rare and aggressive form of cancer – a cardiac synovial sarcoma.
​
On Friday November 20, 2020, the community rallied to raise much needed funds for Noel and his family. The Noel Watkins Golf Invitational and Dinner took place at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. For more information you can visit https://noelwatkinsrecoveryfund.com/
