Ultimate Events say thanks

Leader of the organisation Dean Ackin went out of his way to make the event as informal as possible, but not before he thanked persons who have contributed to the business’ growth and strength, as well as their partners for supporting their cause. He singled out Nathan Baptiste, Camille Salloum, and Barry Bidaisee and presented them with long standing awards.

Ackin also took pleasure in presenting a cheque of $100,000 to five non governmental organisations - Hope for a Miracle, Music Literacy Trust, Animals Alive, Rapidfire Kidz Foundation and The Children’s Ark. The funds were raised from proceeds of their Las Lap event, which is usually held two to three weeks after Carnival. This year it was held in O2 Park in Chaguaramas in March.

Ultimate Events Ltd, via its We Help Foundation also assisted the Aquaholics Dragon Boat Team.

They too were represented.

Ackin told guests on the night: “It is our turn to give back.” After the short formalities guests were entertained by ace guitarist and musician Nigel Rojas, and the young duo of Preedy & Zone, while deejay music came from DJ Cin.
