TDC Group of Companies joined the list of corporate sponsors for Nevis’ largest cultural annual festival Culturama, when TDC Nevis Ltd. presented a $30,000 cheque to the Nevis Cultural Foundation through the Culturama Secretariat, on July 24, 2008, at its Pinneys Industrial Site location.
The Company’s Managing Director Mr. Ernie France said while he presented the cheque to Culturama Chairman Mr. Halsted “Sooty” Byron, that TDC Nevis Ltd. had been associated with the Festival throughout its 34 years of existence, having provided assistance in the form of gifts and prices for all the participants.
He explained that the chance to assist with the Festival presented a unique opportunity for the Company.
“This is the highlight of the Culturama Festivity and by our sponsorship of this event [senior calypso (kasio) competition], we see this as an opportunity to ensure that a show of the highest and most professional standard is brought to all the patrons who year after year look forward to and attend this event.
“Our sponsorship also assists in ensuring this very important art form is preserved for the benefit of our children and their children’s children,” he said.
In the past, the Company had provided sponsorship for the Mr. and Miss Talented Youth Pageant but switched sponsorship to the Senior Kaiso Monarch Competition in 2006.
Mr. France thanked the Culturama Committee for the opportunity to sponsor the contest and thanked them for their collaboration as the negotiations were long and hard but cordial.
