All Athletes Inc to celebrate student athletes in 3-day events next month

ALL ATHLETES INC (AAI) is inviting the public, corporate partners and community stakeholders to rally behind ‘Action Brings Change (ABC) Weekend’ 2026, that will take place from January 2–4.

The three-day series of events designed to celebrate sport and create tangible opportunities for Vincentian student-athletes, the non-profit entity said in a release.

ABC Weekend represents AAI’s flagship expression of its mission: using sport not only as competition, but as a tool for education, leadership and national development.The weekend intentionally brings together athletes, families, grass-roots clubs, sporting federations, corporate partners and members of the wider community in spaces designed for conversation and collective action.

The planned calendar of activities during ABC Weekend is:

● January 2 – Empower Through Action Networking Mixer. A gathering connecting corporate leaders, sporting bodies, grass-roots representatives and community members to foster dialogue and partnerships around youth and sports development.

● January 3 – Champions of Change Football 7s Event. A Football 7- a- side fundraising event at the Comsport Sporting Facility, Arnos Vale, featuring youth competitions, entertainment, and food and drinks on sale.

● January 4 – Bring the Blessings Thanksgiving

Service. A moment of reflection and gratitude hosted by Highpoint Church, recognizing the families and supporters who continue to invest in the growth of Vincentian youth.

All Athletes Incorporated said its immediate fundraising goal for ABC Weekend is to raise EC$13,500 to support housing and mandatory student fees for AAI’s first supported student-athlete, currently enrolled at Allen Community College in the United States who is pursuing a Associates Degree in Sports Medicine. It said while the athlete is on scholarship, these remaining costs are critical to ensuring his continued academic and athletic progress as he prepares to transition to a four-year institution.

All proceeds generated during ABC Weekend contribute to the AAI Student-Athlete Support Fund, which assists athletes with housing, education-related costs, training and developmental programming. The AAI also has a line-up of other fundraisers that will run alongside its ABC Weekend. AAI is a grouping of athletes and is headed by Shane Cadogan as president.
