The Calvin Ayre Foundation (CAF) has once again demonstrated its dedication to youth empowerment and sports excellence, contributing EC$84,132 as a Platinum Sponsor to the Antigua and Barbuda Swimming Federation (ABSF).
The generous investment will fund airfare and accommodation for the 39-member national team as they travel to St. Vincent and the Grenadines for the 33rd OECS Swimming Championships, taking place from November 7–9, 2025.
CAF Manager Jamilla Kirwan said the Foundation was proud to play a role in supporting young athletes on the regional stage.
ABSF President Edith Clashing warmly thanked the Foundation, calling it “an unprecedented show of private-sector support” for the sport.
She emphasized that the contribution will significantly ease the financial burden on families and athletes as they defend Antigua and Barbuda’s reigning OECS title.
Beyond competition, CAF’s sponsorship underscores its broader commitment to community growth, youth development, and equal access to opportunity through sport.
The national team, including athletes, parents, and federation executives, departed Antigua and Barbuda on Thursday, November 6, filled with confidence and national pride as they prepared to make another splash on the regional stage.
Congrats to the team! Go represent Antigua and Barbuda with pride. We’re cheering for you all the way!
Edith Clashing and her team continue to do amazing work for swimming. Keep pushing the sport forward!
