Since its start in 1991, CariFin Games has recognized the dedication of those pushing forward in raising awareness of diseases and helping persons living with diseases.

In this vein, Patricia Wiltshire of First Citizens suggested the Lupus Society as the cause to put CariFin's support behind. She felt that Lupus was not highlighted as other diseases such as cancer were by the wider public and corporate sponsors.

Recognizing the effort being made by the Lupus Society of Trinidad and Tobago to improve the quality of life for people living with Lupus, CariFin put its full support behind this endeavour. Annually, each time a person registers for the CariFin Urban Challenge, five dollars of the registration fee is donated to the Lupus Society. In this way, CariFin Games' participants are always encouraged to 'run for a reason'.

Continuing this tradition, last year CariFin donated a cheque of $10,400 to this foundation. Janeal James, Ms. CariFin 2013 got the opportunity to be part of the kind gesture, when she handed over the cheque to the President of the Lupus Society, Curtis Wilson, on behalf of CariFin.

This contribution took place in the foyer of CCN TV6 on Independence Square, Port-of-Spain. Present for the handing over were the current Ms. CariFin Janeal James, Guardian Group Team Leader Kavita Siewah, President of the Lupus Society Mr. Curtis Wilson, Chairman of CariFin Wayne Roberts and photographer, Karla Ramoo.

For Full Story  

For the past twenty-three years, CariFin Games has served as a playground and platform for incredible athleticism, camaraderie and celebration. The Games has allowed many athletes to express their talents in various forms; it has given them an opportunity to grow and develop within the world of sports and be recognized for their efforts. CariFin Games has also provided an outlet for these athletes to be heard

CariFin Games wishes to recognize and remember these individuals and their notable feats as they were discovered, nurtured and allowed to blossom as everyone observed with smiles, applause and pride.  

To kick off this series of recognition, it is with pleasure that we commence with non-other than, Rasheeda Ann Moncada (formerly Mohammed) an athlete who ruled her era fearlessly

Rasheeda Ann Moncada remains the only participant in the history of the event to capture three consecutive Carifin Cross Country Run titles and four consecutive Carifin Cross Country RaceWalk titles. These two major races are held within fifteen minutes of each other testing the mettle of many eager athletes who attempt to attain this prestigious double victory each year. Ms. Moncada secured her double victories for three years in a row which, thus far, has remained an unmatched double hat-trick. A unique accomplishment that emphasizes the versatility and brawn of this athlete.

Ms. Moncada also dominated the CariFin Urban Challenge then known as the 4-Part Fitness Challenge when it debuted in 2001. She displayed her range of skill and fitness by winning all four legs of the event; the Botanic Gardens Mini Cross Country, the Queens Park Savannah One-Lap (2.2 Miles in an impressive 14:02 minutes), the 400m sprint and the Aerobics Marathon. A feat she repeated in 2002. In this year she took her eventual departure from our financial services sector.
