Dave’s West Indian Imports get Everest CC’s renovations off the mark
Popular philanthropist and ardent cricket supporter Dave Narine, of Dave’s West Indian Imports (USA), has launched the Everest Cricket Club’s Pavilion and Hall Rehabilitation Fund with a first donation of five hundred thousand Guyana dollars (GY$500,000).
National player Richie Looknauth received the cheque on behalf of Everest, on Wednesday January 22, in the club’s pavilion.
Launch of the Renovation Fund precedes a massive Bingo which would be held on the grounds of the club on Saturday, January 25.
The project is integral to the programmes of the club, which contributes to the development and overall wellbeing of its members. Among the programmes are the Annual Youth Cricket Camp held by Everest, yoga and karate classes, and seminars for management and mental strength.

The pavilion and hall rehabilitation project has a twenty-million-dollar cost, and works are slated to begin in the first quarter of 2025.
Businessman Dave Narine has said this is an initial contribution to kickstart the project, and he would make a further contribution. He said Everest Cricket Club has been leading the nation in terms of providing sporting facilities of exceptionally high standards.
Congratulating and commending the club, the Guyanese businessman added that the executives and members of Everest Club have been working hard to meet the high expectations of a modern nation, and he is encouraging others to come on board this project, which would contribute to talent development as Guyana prepares to compete at the Olympics in the sport of cricket.
Dave’s West Indian Imports are proud sponsors of an annual rival match between Albion Community Centre Cricket Club and Everest Cricket Club, and were once title sponsors of the Guyana Cricket Board’s Under-15 Inter-County tournament.
Thanks to Dave’s West Indian Imports, many of the finest Guyanese and West Indian products are available in Queen’s New York, and in Maryland and New Hampshire in the United States of America.
