“We are delighted to have County Line Chiropractic Medical and Rehab Centres as a sponsor for this event. Their financial and promotional support will assist us in advancing Miss Lou’s legacy of education and culture and will also help fund the Louise Bennett Coverley Sscholarship, tenable at both the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in Jamaica, and Broward College, USA”, according to Mrs. Darby.

Maria Pazos, Chief Operating Officer of County Line Chiropractic Medical and Rehab Centres reiterated that “recognizing and preserving the legacy of a cultural icon such as Miss Lou (as she was affectionately known) is important to us at County Line. The Caribbean community has always been close to our hearts, and we are very fortunate to be able to partner with the Louise Bennett-Coverley Reading Festival, and to contribute to the scholarship fund,”
