The partnership also assisted the school with some smaller donations after a hurricane to help them repair damage. Though the school is in Jamaica, students from the school do travel to participate in the Alliance activities at the Supernova International Ska Festival. The school is officially sponsored by St. Mary's located in Ohio in the US and the donations were made to that organization to be managed for the school. 0 2310 26615 Tim Receveur Executive Director 20 0 0 0 Dunia Best Sinnreich Board President 10 0 0 0 Lindsay McCarthy Treasurer 10 0 0 0 Teboho Bertocci Secretary 10 0 0 0 Unikue Jefferson Communications Director 15 0 0 0 Eric Abbey Board Member 10 0 0 0 Evan Thomas Board Member 10 0 0 0 Theresa Thomas Board Member 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 VA Lindsay McCarthy 14812 Evey Turn Woodbridge VA 22193 3143231687 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 0 0 13836 37367 51203 0 0 0 0 15413 15413 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13836 52780 66616 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 66616 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13836 52780 66616 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Alliance Gala Event at Paradise Ocean Club 15413 0 15413 0 0 4000 2341 2000 0 0 0 15413 0 15413 0 0 4000 2341 2000 0 8341 7072 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Donation to the Alpha Institute of Music, a historically relevant institution for Ska Music.
