THE Rosewood Foundation Guyana (RFG), a registered non-profit organisation that is dedicated to the protection and welfare of animals in Guyana, is thrilled to announce its annual ‘Monster Mash’ event, which will be held in partnership with Collage.

The event is set to take place at YMCA, Thomas Lands, Georgetown, on October 26, 2024, from noon to 21:00hrs.

‘Monster Mash’ promises to be a day filled with family-friendly activities, including carnival games, spooky treats, a haunted house, a pop-up shop with over 30 small businesses, and three workshops where you can create your own slime, crochet monsters or monster cookies.

There will be costume competitions for kids and adults, and the highly anticipated Pet Costume Competition. Monster Mash is designed to bring together pet lovers, families, and community members to celebrate Halloween while also supporting a great cause.

All funds raised from the Haunted House as well as the selling of Rosewood merchandise at the event will go towards continuing Rosewood Foundation’s mission of advocating for and protecting animals across Guyana.

Rosewood in a press release encouraged attendees to join them in making a difference.

“We invite everyone to attend this exciting event, bringing along their pets, children, and loved ones for a day of fun and philanthropy.”

Tickets are available for purchase at Collage which is conveniently located next to Ramchand’s Auto Spares on Sheriff Street, as well as Bad Monkey stores in the MovieTowne, Amazonia and Giftland Malls.
The public’s participation will help to ensure the continued success of Rosewood’s animal welfare programmes.

To make this event a resounding success, local food businesses are encouraged to collaborate with the organisers whether by donating or sponsoring food items or by setting up a vendor booth at the event.

Rosewood said that such support will make a significant impact.

In return, sponsors will be featured across all of Rosewood Foundation’s social media platforms and will receive special recognition on their website.

Additionally, partners will have the opportunity to display their branding materials on the day of the event, maximising visibility within the community.

Interested businesses, potential sponsors, and the media are encouraged to reach out by sending an email to rosewoodfoundationgy@gmail.com or by contacting Donna via WhatsApp at 621-5514 for more information.

Moreover, the press release said: “Rosewood Foundation Guyana is committed to the protection and well-being of animals across Guyana.
