IMA Grenada Renews Title Sponsorship of National Relay Meet for Second Consecutive Year

Reinforcing its commitment to youth development and national sports advancement, the Investment Migration Agency (IMA) Grenada has renewed its role as Title Sponsor of the National Relay Meet for a second consecutive year.

At a cheque handover ceremony, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of IMA Grenada, Ms.

Karline Purcell, presented a sponsorship valued at EC$75,000 to Mr. Conrad Francis,

President of the Grenada Athletics Association (GAA) and Mr. Johnell Mitchell, Games

Director and First Vice President of the GAA. The funds will support the staging of the

competition scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the Kirani James Athletic

Stadium.

Branded as the IMA Grenada National Relay Meet, the event continues to serve as a

premier platform for youth empowerment and athletic excellence across the island. The partnership reflects IMA Grenada’s belief in the power of sport to cultivate discipline, teamwork, resilience and national pride among young people.

Mr. Johnell Mitchell expressed appreciation for the Agency’s continued support.

“Events of this magnitude require substantial resources. We are sincerely grateful for

IMA’s continued investment in this meet for a second year. This partnership allows us to

reinvest directly into our clubs and schools, strengthening programmes and supporting

the ongoing development of our athletes.”

Deputy CEO Karline Purcell underscored the strategic importance of the initiative within the Agency’s broader mandate.

“At IMA Grenada, youth development remains a key priority. The National Relay Meet

provides an opportunity to engage communities across the island, from St. Patrick’s in

the north to the south. In addition to our Vibe Champion Award, this year we are

introducing a Rhythm Section featuring the IMA Rainbow City All-Stars, bringing added

energy and excitement to the National Stadium.”

The event will once again feature the interactive IMA Vibe Champion Awards, offering

EC$500 to the most spirited spectator and $500 to the club with the most crowd

support, further promoting an inclusive and vibrant sporting atmosphere.

Through initiatives such as the IMA Grenada National Relay Meet, the Agency

continues to invest in community engagement, youth empowerment and national

development.
