TCIFA's WALK-RUN-RIDE Returns To Aid Youth Development
The Turks and Caicos Islands Football Association / Coca Cola Walk-Run-Ride event is a fantastic opportunity for the community to come together and support the development of youth football in the Turks and Caicos Islands. It's wonderful to see the return of this event after a hiatus brought on by the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the support of Coca Cola (T&C Refreshments), this year's event promises to be a great success.
The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 6th at 5:30 pm, meeting at the TCIFA National Academy in Providenciales. The impact of the Walk-Run-Ride goes beyond just a single day of activities. The funds raised will play a crucial role in organizing programs, competitions, providing travel opportunities, supplying equipment, and recognizing the achievements of young athletes. This event truly embodies the spirit of unity and support for the growth and advancement of youth football across the islands of Providenciales, Grand Turk, and South Caicos.
As we lace up our shoes, hit the ground, and enjoy the camaraderie of the Walk-Run-Ride, let's remember that our participation is helping to shape the future of football in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and promote healthy lifestyles. Let's stride forward with enthusiasm, knowing that every step we take is making a positive difference in the lives of young athletes and the community as a whole.
