Nelohn Properties Inc awards competition winners

Nelohn Properties Inc. awarded prizes for its second annual Local Gone Global Giveaway at the National Botanical Gardens on December 9.. The giveaway was an Instagram competition which invited persons to like the sponsor’s pages and tag their friends for a chance to win various sponsored prizes. 

Property Manager at Nelohn Properties Inc. Danielle Gibson said she decided to host the local giveaway to give back to individuals in the community. “Nelohn Properties Inc. is a Barbadian company that always believed in giving back. As a family-owned company, we started this business out of giving back vacation rentals. In the pandemic a lot of persons were couped up in the house, could not travel and could not afford a lovely vacation stay. So, we decided to work with some of our clients as well as ask persons to sponsor an item or service. That is how the Local Gone Global Giveaway was born,” she said. 

This year, the grand prize winner was Sarah Cato. She won a one-day pool pass for one person and four friends at Providence Estate, one photoshoot compliments Trey Vision Photography and a clothing voucher compliments Fashion Cut Boutique. A very happy Cato collected her prizes from the owner of Trey Vision Video and Photography, Tremaine Yearwood, and Danielle Gibson.

Gibson said her company was pleased the winners could attend the prize-giving and enjoy their gifts over the Christmas period. 

“We feel great. It was good to see the joy on the faces of the persons who collected their prizes. I think they are excited to enjoy them,” she said. 

Gibson noted there were three new sponsors, De Tech Electronics, 250 Personal Chef Services and Boats Bar and Grill, who helped make this year’s competition a reality. 

“I want to thank the sponsors: Providence Estate Barbados, Trey Vision Video Photography, Eco Steam Detailing, Fashion Cutz Boutique, De Tech Electronics, 350 Personal Chef Services, Fusion Flow Healing Massage, Kiara’s Enterprises, Island Touch Services, Boats Bar & Grill, Casanova Liquid Artistry and Nelohn Properties Inc. Without them, none of this could be possible. We truly appreciate them deciding to join us in this venture that brings a bit of cheer this season,” she said. 

Tremaine Yearwood said he came on board because he wanted to give back to the community. “This is the second year I’ve partnered with them. The first year was an experience, and I enjoyed it. When Danielle asked me to be a part of it, I did not think twice. For me, the opportunity to give back is always a pleasure,” he said. 

Dehron Davis, owner of De Tech Electronics, said he decided to sponsor a Samsung Galaxy Tablet because without customer support he could not own a successful business. “I donated a Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite and you can use it for educational purposes. Every year our company tries to find ways to give back to our customers as we are passionate about that.”

Other prizes included personal chef services, massages, cleaning services and various food and drink vouchers.
