Overview

First Citizens Sports Foundation was registered effective 5 January 2005. The mission of the Committee is to promote the culture of excellence in sport at all levels of society because we believe that great things are possible when we support our community of sportsmen and sportswomen. Through our Committee, we have set up initiatives like the First Citizens Sports Awards and we have also sponsored the UWI Spec Half Marathon, Secondary Schools’ Football League (SSFL) and the Colin Hudson Great Train Hike in Barbados.

Our aim is to continually celebrate and highlight the excellence of our Caribbean-born athletes as we recognise that discipline and hard work are learned through participation in sport.
