The event which is scheduled to begin at 10 am at Miramar Regional Park, will be the first Alumni Associations’ Sports Day.

It will be filled with fun and friendly competition with food and drinks available and music from the DJs. Persons can register individually or as a team.

Derrick Munroe, chapter president is encouraging past students from the Jamaican schools in the Florida diaspora to support the event. 

“The day will be reminiscent of sports day vibes like back-in-the-day with the popular lime and spoon, sock/shoe, crocus bag, three-legged and continuous relay races,” Munroe said. 

 “Food, music, raffles, prizes, and surprises will make it a delightful day for participants and spectators alike,” the Chapter President added. 

 “The friendly competition among those registering for the events, who can wear their school colors, will make for an entertaining and playful atmosphere,” adds Daniel “Little Warrior” England, former Calabar Boy Champs track standout, who will oversee the events and the morning warm-up session.

 He added that the Coalition of Jamaican Alumni Associations of Florida (CJAA) newsletter edited by Drs. Sandra Schrouder and Rupert Rhodd boast a list of about fifty-nine individual alumni associations.

“ So, what a wonderful site it would be on Saturday 29, 2023 in Miramar, Florida if we had representation from each organization,” remarked England.
