The Foundation of Goodness is passionate about cricket and thanks to support from the Marylebone Cricket Club, it has been able to provide a beautiful cricket ground at Sri Sumangala College, Hikkaduwa. Surrey County Cricket Club are partners in the development of the Seenigama Wimala Buddhi MV cricket venue.
This passion for cricket runs through the Foundation of Goodness' work supported by top class Sri Lankan Cricket stars Muttiah Muralidaran (Murali), Chaminda Vaas, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena who are trustees of the Foundation and have been key figures in the organization.
Canadian pop-star Bryan Adams continues to show his generosity and compassion through his ongoing support for the maintenance and programmes provided at the Bryan Adams Swimming Pool Complex at Seenigama Sports Academy.
