Sir Richie Richardson has extended his heartfelt thanks to sponsors and participants following the successful staging of the Sir Richie Richardson Charity Golf Day on April 11, 2026. According to Antigua News Room, the event drew golfers from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, St Kitts, and Antigua, alongside corporate partners and community supporters, raising both funds and awareness for several important charitable initiatives.
The tournament brought together participants for a day of friendly competition and camaraderie, all in service of meaningful causes. Proceeds will benefit programs including the Striving for Excellence Golf Academy and the Kiwanis Bright Minds Project, both dedicated to empowering youth and advancing educational development. Additional support was directed toward Kimesha Anthony, Antigua and the Caribbean's former number one women's golfer, reflecting the event's commitment to nurturing local talent.
Sir Richie expressed deep appreciation for the continued support of those who made the event possible.
"Your partnership and generosity continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of many. We are truly grateful and look forward to your ongoing support as we work together to strengthen our community," he said.
Among the day's highlights was the announcement of the overall winning team, which included two young golfers trained under Coach Bobby James. Sir Richie, who serves as President of the Striving for Excellence Golf Academy, described the moment as particularly moving.
"I was overwhelmed with emotion when it was announced that the overall winning team included 15-year-old Clairmont Carringt and 16-year-old Lovanjo Weekes, both of whom are under the tutelage of Coach Bobby James," he said.
Organizers are already looking ahead, aiming to build on this year's momentum and strengthen the event's community impact in future editions.
