The Capital & Credit Chorale captivated spectators who came out to support the celebrity-studded K.I.D.S Television Telethon in the Hilton Ballroom on Sunday November 1st. The 18 member group, comprising of employees across the Capital & Credit Financial Group, performed a wonderful rendition of the song ‘Lean on Me’ much to the audience’s delight.

Speaking on the Group’s contribution to the Charity, Senior Vice President of Group Marketing & Corporate Affairs, Michelle Wilson Reynolds, who also served as the
Chorale’s Director, said that “being a good Corporate Citizen is important and Capital & Credit is committed to maintaining its reputation of giving support for initiatives that profoundly impact the lives of young Jamaicans in a positive way”.

Rosheuvel, noted that the charity has raised approximately J$30 million over the past six years which has aided over 18 local organizations in the country.
