Red Hot Challenge 

The Turks and Caicos  Islands Red Cross (TCIRC) is thrilled to announce its 3rd Annual Red Hot Challenge, a fun and vibrant sporting event scheduled for June 1, 2024, at the National Stadium in Providenciales.

After a successful turnout last year, with over 15 teams competing for top honors, the event is back, calling on the TCI community and businesses to join in the spirited competition for a shot at trophies, medals, and the coveted title of champion

TCI Red Cross Director Candianne Williams expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming event, highlighting her anticipation for increased team participation in this year’s Red Hot Challenge.

“We are so excited about the third annual Red Hot Challenge, and we encourage individuals and the corporate community to once again join us for an exciting day of fun, camaraderie, community spirit, and sportsmanship as we come together to support the Red Cross and its humanitarian efforts,” she said.

She continued, “Participants can look forward to a day of fun and friendly competition as they come together to support a worthy cause. If your team is up for the challenge, then we encourage you to join us for an all-day fun-filled festival of sporting events ranging from non-athletic to athletic.”
