Jamaican Consulate Celebates Caribbean-American Heritage Month

On Wednesday, May 25th, the Jamaican Consulate offered live music and entertainment, Jamaican rum punch passed finger foods to celebrate the launch of a new line of Caribbean flavored sauces.
The event was just in time for summer BBQ and June, which is Caribbean-American Heritage Month.
The event was not only attended by Golden Krust founder and CEO Mr. Lowell Hawthorne and his family, NYC Comptroller John Liu, Consul General of Jamaica Geneive Brown-Metzger, and other guests of honor.
The event was produced and presented by Mr. Hawthorne and Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery & Grill (the Consul and Consulate were Generous and Gracious “co-hosts”),

For the entire month of June (Caribbean American Heritage Month), 100% of proceeds from sale of their “Krust” product at 125th Street location in Harlem and all 125 locations will benefit Golden Krust Bakery’s Scholarship program.

They have created over 100 scholarships to date, and set a goal of 70 this year alone.
