As hundreds of the Caribbean’s most promising young track and field athletes gear up to compete on home soil in Grenada, the “Spice Isle”, long-time regional energy provider Grenlec has announced it will once again back the iconic CARIFTA Games through a renewed partnership with the Grenada Athletics Association (GAA). This collaboration is far from a one-off commitment: it grows out of decades of aligned work between the two organizations, both rooted in a shared mission to lift up Caribbean youth and nurture national pride across the region.
The partnership falls under the Grenlec Community Partnership Initiative (GCPI), the company’s flagship community investment program that has poured more than 30 years of resources into four core pillars: community development, education, sports, and local culture. For GCPI leaders, supporting the CARIFTA Games represents more than just sponsoring a regional sporting event—it is a strategic investment in the next generation of Caribbean leaders.
Speaking at the official team presentation ceremony for Grenada’s national CARIFTA delegation, Grenlec representative Eric Williams emphasized the company’s long-held belief in sport’s unique power to shape well-rounded, confident, and resilient young people. “Our longstanding relationship with the Grenada Athletics Association is one we value greatly,” Williams said. “That the CARIFTA Games have returned to our shores so quickly is a credit to the hard work and dedication of our association.”
With countdown clocks ticking down to the opening ceremony and excitement building among athletes, fans, and local communities across Grenada, the entire Grenlec team has extended warm well wishes to all stakeholders involved in the 2024 games. Greetings went out to visiting teams and supporters from neighboring Caribbean islands, the GAA and the full local organizing committee, and specifically to Grenada’s own national team, who will compete in front of a home crowd.
