Team Jamaica Bickle (TJB) is finalizing plans for its highly anticipated “Labor of Love: Resilience Gala”, set for Sunday, April 12, 2026, at the elegant Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, New York. The gala celebrates over 31 years of TJB’s dedication to supporting Jamaican and Caribbean athletes, particularly at the internationally renowned Penn Relays Carnival.
Fresh off record-breaking performances at the recent ISSA GraceKennedy Boys and Girls Championships, Jamaica’s top young athletes and their coaches are now setting their sights on the Penn Relays, scheduled for April 24–26 at the University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field in Philadelphia. The three-day event is one of the most prestigious track and field showcases worldwide, and TJB will once again serve as hosts, ensuring athletes and coaches have the support they need while competing on the global stage.
The Resilience Gala is a cornerstone fundraising initiative for TJB, dedicated to sustaining the organization’s mission of providing comprehensive care for “Our Athletes…Our Ambassadors.” Through this effort, the organization ensures athletes have access to accommodation, meals, medical support, and a welcoming environment during their time in the United States.
“This gala represents more than a celebration; it is a call to action,” said TJB representatives. “It is through the generosity of our supporters that we are able to continue uplifting our athletes, ensuring that they not only represent excellence in sport but also embody the pride and spirit of the Caribbean.”
The evening promises to be one of inspiration, community, and purpose, bringing together supporters, alumni, corporate partners, and friends of Caribbean athletics, all united in their commitment to empowering the next generation of champions. Proceeds from the gala will directly benefit TJB’s ongoing programs and services, ensuring that every athlete is supported both on and off the track.
