Michael Thomas, Chairman of CACAF said, "We are committed to our culture, community and any opportunity to show the connection and that we care. This is the direction we want to go," he continued "Our frontline workers are our national heroes and we want them to know the Caribbean community has benefited from their diligence and courage. We simply wanted to say, 'Thanks.'"
