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, grassroots clubs, sporting federations, corporate partners and members of the wider community in spaces designed for conversation and collective action.

- January 4 – Bring the Blessings Thanksgiving Service

Fundraising Focus
The 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 pursuing an Associates Degree in Sports Medicine. 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.
