Athletics

We are proud to advocate for youth sports, providing a platform for the next generation to embrace discipline and teamwork, while promoting social awareness and healthy life choices. In 2023, Abaco Strong secured a grant from the generous TK Foundation to fund the renovation of the baseball and softball field in Murphy Town, in collaboration with the OPM Special Projects Division. In addition, the restoration of the basketball court and facilities at the Ocean Park in Dundas Town, in partnership with the Dundas Town Local Government Committee, was completed in 2024. These endeavours provide enhanced sporting amenities and create spaces for the community to come together, fostering social awareness and well-being among residents.

Music

Abaco Strong sponsored the first Steel Drum Workshop on December 11-15, 2023. This initiative found its home at Patrick J Bethel High School, which provided the venue for the music program. Under the instruction of musician and composer CJ Menge, 16 participants spanning various age groups progressed from basic techniques to collaborative ensemble playing. By the end of the program, a vibrant community band had emerged, showcasing the remarkable progress achieved in just a few short days.
