The top brass of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) recently presented a cheque worth $3M to the Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) to help offset its expenses for the upcoming CARIFTA Games in the Bahamas.

This is according to a release disseminated to the media yesterday by the GOA.

According to the release, the President of the GOA, Godfrey Munroe observed that the AAG has over the years been slowly but constantly improving their performances at the annual Games.

 As such, when it was reported at the recently held Council Meeting on Thursday by the President of the association, Aubrey Hutson, that the 50th edition of the CARIFTA Games will be held in Nassau, Bahamas during the period April 8-10, 2023, the newly elected Executive Committee members supported the AAG with a financial contribution for the team of approximately 20 athletes and five officials.

Munroe then proceeded to hand over the sponsorship cheque to Hutson in the presence of some members of his Executive Council. Best wishes were extended to the team departing for much success and that the GOA and indeed the country, will look forward to their report afterwards.
