In 2024, the SJCCDO in solidarity with the Sandy Point Benevolent Society (SPBS), the St Kitts and Nevis Tri-State Association and many individuals in the diaspora came together to successfully raise funds for Team SKN at the Penn Relays. Also contributing and extending support for this endeavor was Ambassador to the United States, Jacinth Henry Martin of the St KItts and Nevis Embassy in DC.

With your help we will be able to raise funds to support Team SKN at Penn in 2025
