Billy Davis Family Foundation Donated $5,000,000.00Kennesaw resident and retired Arizona State Senator, Mr. Billy Davis along with his wife and their three children, Todd, Robyn and Jason Davis donated five million dollars to build ten computer and science labs on ten remote islands of The Bahamas known to the citizens as The Family Islands.
An exciting event was hosted at the prestigious Georgian Club at the Galleria in Marietta, Georgia where Billy Davis presented the five million dollar check to Bahamian Consul, Michael Young. Mr. Young exclaimed to the more than fifty guests that the generosity of the Davis family far exceeds most gifts of this nature. Mr. Young stressed the need for students in the Family Islands to have access to the rest of the world through the click of a mouse. Billy Davis told the audience, “We have watched the children grow up in the islands for over 25 years. With our help, we hope to see many of these students go on to higher education.”
The Davis family has maintained second homes in The Bahamas for decades. The children of the Family Islands such as Rum Cay know him as “Uncle Bill.” The Davis family is excited to become a bigger part of a nation that has been providing years of sun, sand, sea and great fishing into the third generation of their family.
A delegation from Atlanta will be attending a presentation reception at the British Colonial Hilton in Nassau, Bahamas on February 14, 2008.
The expected guest list includes the Rt. Hon. Hubert Ingraham, Bahamas Prime Minister, Cabinet and Parliament Members, and family friends.
