The Rapidfire Kidz Foundation (RKF) is set to transport its guests back millions of years to the age of dinosaurs at its annual gala dinner on November 1. Held at the Achievors Banquet Hall in San Fernando, the event, aptly titled ‘Jurassic,’ will feature a unique Dutch auction of authentic dinosaur fossils, including a spinosaurus tooth and a megalodon tooth. These prehistoric treasures, sourced from reputable websites and accompanied by Certificates of Authenticity, have been artistically framed by Fine Art Ltd. The auction marks a creative departure from the foundation’s usual offerings of autographed sports memorabilia, aiming to raise both funds and eyebrows. RKF chairman Rissa Ramraj-Seepersad highlighted the novelty of the auction, while vice-president Rev Joy Abdul-Mohan emphasized the foundation’s commitment to innovative engagement. The evening will include entertainment by the Shiv Shakti Dancers, vocalists Joel John, Marvin Smith, and David Frank, and calypso and chutney soca artiste Daddy Chinee. A Latin dance competition and champagne giveaway will add to the festivities. RKF president Kevin Ratiram shared that the fossil auction idea was inspired by the TV show ‘Dino Hunters,’ sparking curiosity about the local response to such a unique fundraiser. Proceeds from the event will support the foundation’s charitable projects, including Christmas treats for underprivileged children, hospital donations, and playground maintenance. Ratiram underscored the foundation’s mission, stating, ‘Our main thrust is assisting underprivileged children.’ The Jurassic gala promises to be a groundbreaking event, blending fun, imagination, and philanthropy.
