13th WCGFT Awards $70,000 To Youth-Oriented Organizations In Turks & Caicos Islands

In a heartwarming gesture of community support and investment in youth development, the 13th annual Wine Cellar Golf & Fishing Tournament (WCGFT) proudly announced its donation of $70,000 to three esteemed youth-oriented organizations in the Turks & Caicos Islands.

The beneficiaries of this generous contribution include the Edward Gartland Youth Centre, the TCI Amateur Athletic Association (TCIAAA), and the TCI Swimming Federation (TCISF). Each organization plays a pivotal role in shaping the lives of young individuals across the islands.

The Edward Gartland Youth Centre, renowned for its commitment to providing a nurturing environment for the youth of Providenciales, offers a diverse range of activities encompassing academic support, sports, arts, and recreation. The substantial donation of $35,000 to this non-profit organization will undoubtedly bolster its efforts in empowering the island’s youth.

Meanwhile, the TCIAAA and TCISF recently represented the Turks & Caicos Islands with pride in the prestigious CARIFTA Games held in Grenada. Demonstrating exceptional athletic prowess and sportsmanship, these organizations have brought honor to their homeland. The WCGFT’s contribution of $20,000 to TCIAAA and $15,000 to TCISF serves as a testament to its unwavering support for sports and athletic endeavors within the community.

The collective donation of $70,000 brings the total philanthropic contributions by the WCGFT and its esteemed sponsors to an impressive $530,000. This remarkable feat underscores the event’s commitment to making a meaningful impact on the lives of the youth in the TCI community.

As this year’s 13th WCGFT Event and Cheque Presentation draws to a close, the spirit of generosity and community solidarity prevails, setting the stage for a brighter future for the youth of the Turks & Caicos Islands.
