Bay Gardens Resorts Sporting Clinics & Helen's Daughters and Bay Gardens Resorts Unite!

Bay Gardens Resorts has partnered with the Daren Sammy Foundation to launch an inspiring initiative aimed at nurturing young sports talent in the Gros-Islet constituency.

This collaboration, rooted in community engagement and youth development, reflects their shared commitment to fostering athletic potential embodying the mission of the Bay Gardens Community Fund.

The Bay Gardens Sporting Clinics kicked off on March 8, 2025, and took place every Saturday throughout the month. Hosted at the Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium, these clinics targeted children aged 5 to 12, allowing them to explore cricket, football, and track & field.

With experienced coaches like John Eugene spearheading cricket training, Kenvin McPhee overseeing track & field, and Zaine Pierre leading football, this initiative provided a unique opportunity for young participants to learn from seasoned professionals and grow in their chosen sports.

Recognizing the importance of inclusivity, Bay Gardens Resorts and the Daren Sammy Foundation ensured that participation in the clinics came at no cost to families. Refreshments and transportation were also provided, making the initiative accessible to all young athletes in the Gros-Islet area.

This commitment underscores the Bay Gardens Community Fund and the Daren Sammy Foundation's belief in equal opportunities for aspiring athletes, regardless of their background.

Also, On March 8, 2025, Helen’s Daughters and Bay Gardens Resorts hosted a remarkable International Women’s Day celebration at the Bay Gardens Hotel. This event was more than just a gathering, it was a tribute to the resilience of female farmers and a rallying call for greater support and recognition of their contributions to food security and rural development.

The evening featured an exclusive screening of the Helen’s Daughters documentary, offering an intimate look into the experiences of women in agriculture. The film shed light on their struggles, triumphs, and the urgent need for policies and initiatives that foster inclusivity and economic empowerment. Attendees left with a deeper understanding of the challenges these women face and a renewed sense of responsibility to advocate for change.

Beyond storytelling, the event encouraged action. A silent auction and fundraising efforts gave attendees the opportunity to make a tangible impact. Proceeds were directed toward Helen’s Daughters’ programs and initiatives supporting female farmers, including funding for medical expenses for a FarmHer in need. This structure ensured that support extended beyond the evening itself, contributing to long-term solutions.

By the end of the night, it was clear that this event was more than a celebration, it was a catalyst for change. It underscored the importance of sustained investment in female-led agricultural enterprises and the power of collaboration between communities, businesses, and policymakers.
