HeARTS from Home Edition in Memory of Miss Olive Miller, OBE

From Miriam Foster CEO N.C.V.O

The NCVO’s 41st Telethon: HeARTs from Home Edition will be in loving memory of our Founder & former Board Member, Ms Olive Miller, OBE. She was a passionate woman who deeply cared about the needs of the community, especially children. Since 1974, her drive shaped the NCVO’s rich history of helping.

Due to the uncertainty of our financial climate, and the fact that the NCVO provides direct, essential services to vulnerable children and their families, the annual October telethon will take place on May 30th from 12pm-12am and will be a multimedia, cultural event showcasing local artists virtually.

The telethon will be simulcast on NCVO.ORG.KY, Cayman Life TV on Logic Channel 33, Radio Cayman, and Hurley’s Media Radio Stations, as well as social media.

In collaboration with OneWorld Entertainment, Cayman Life TV, and Juse Media, a pre-recorded 12-hour “party for your ears” will feature high-quality upbeat, musical content brought to you by celebrity hosts. There will be raffles, sponsor videos, artist highlights, and fundraising toward the NCVO’s goal of $1.6 million KYD for annual operating expenses.

The live portion of the event will take place in a Zoom Room, a virtual ”Backstage” with hosts, games, and live updates of funds raised. In the next week and during the telethon, everyone is encouraged to donate online by visiting NCVO.ORG.KY. Additionally, the community can participate in other events leading up to the event:

1. Become a member of the NCVO’s Nifty Neighbor Membership Programme by completing the $92 KYD for 92 Kids Challenge
2. Visit the virtual HeART Market and purchase art & experiences
3. Play Bingo with a Beat and listen to local DJs
4. Share a Meal with NCVO by ordering from a participating restaurant

Help us fulfill Ms Olive’s legacy and allow the NCVO to continue to be dedicated to the care, education, and well-being of children and families of the Cayman Islands. For more information visit NCVO.ORG.KY.

The NCVO needs your help now more than ever. We are not collecting school fees and our overtime at the home has doubled because the Careworkers live on site 24/7 leaving their families for 30 days at a time. We have taken a 200K loss and it looks to continue. 

I refuse to have our founder pass and let the NCVO pass as well. We provide direct, essential services to 92 children.  

Any help you can give to promote this would be much appreciated.
