Country night to raise funds for sick children

Over the years our foundation has raised funding for over 100 surgeries and treatment for children thus giving them a chance at renewed life. The foundation began in 2006 specifically to address the needs of desperate families with sick children seeking help. Its mission is also to financially assist the children to access medical treatment and/or surgery locally or abroad and to return health and quality of life to them and peace of mind to their families.

The foundation said the economic downturn has severely affected donations and increased reliance has had to be placed upon corporate sponsors who have assisted in the past, said a media release.

The foundation has already raised funds for surgeries, most of which were done through an alliance with the Jackson Memorial Hospital at the Holtz Children Hospital in Miami and also the Institute of Cardiology – Colombia, the release said.

“Many medical surgeries/ treatment that have been performed, the positive recommendations and testimonies that we receive, and the many requests for help that continue to come to the foundation,” the release said.

The foundation’s board is asking the public and supporters to “once again join hands to make this event successful.” The board comprises Cindy Schutters- Achim, president; Dianny Hernandez, vice president; Alma R Supersad, treasurer; and Beatriz Ramoutarsingh,secretary/ PRO.

The Country Night, Trini Style party offers an all-inclusive dinner and premium bar at the Country Club, 137 Long Circular Rd, Maraval, from 7pm to 12am. All proceeds go to the children’s health programme.
