Mike’s Pharmacy supports DCB’s ‘Independence T10 Cup’ fund-raiser

The Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) is proud to host the Independence T10 Cup, a thrilling and impactful fundraising event on August 1 at the LBI Ground, dedicated to the development of young male and female cricketers at the inter-association level.
This exciting tournament not only promises entertaining cricket action but also serves as a platform to nurture the next generation of cricketing talent in Guyana and beyond.
Mike’s Pharmacy, founded in 1986, is honoured to contribute to this important initiative, continuing its long-standing commitment to community development and youth empowerment. The pharmaceutical company has donated GY$100,000 and 15 gate prizes to the one-day event.
Cricket holds a special place in the heart of the organisation, as the late founder, Mr Lakhram Singh, was deeply passionate about the sport and actively involved in the cricketing community.

His legacy lives on through Mike’s Pharmacy’s continued support of sports, particularly cricket, which remains deeply embedded in the company’s history.
In supporting this fundraiser, Mike’s Pharmacy reflects on the enduring principles of its founder and the powerful role that sports play in shaping young lives.
The company is proud to help create meaningful opportunities for youth and sees this contribution as a step toward strengthening the future of cricket in Guyana.
In addition to its community support, Mike’s Pharmacy is the sole distributor of Tynor Orthopaedics in Guyana and the Caribbean.
The company is especially excited to spotlight the Tynor Sports Range, a specialised line of athletic support and protection products designed to enhance performance and prevent injury.
This range includes knee, ankle, elbow, and wrist supports – ideal for athletes and anyone with an active lifestyle.
Mike’s Pharmacy, located at 1 Blygezight, Bel Air, and 147 Regent and Albert Street, Bourda, Georgetown, also offers a wide selection of pain relief medications and sports vitamins, providing comprehensive support for injury recovery and overall wellness in sport.
Even more exciting, Mike’s Pharmacy will officially launch its online shopping platform on July 26, 2025. This new platform will allow customers to conveniently shop for health and wellness products from anywhere – delivered straight to their door in a fast, easy, and secure way.
Mike’s Pharmacy remains dedicated to serving the community and promoting health through sports, honouring the values of its founder and looking ahead to a future filled with opportunity and growth.
