Thanks for your support in ensuring that the Court was built. The girls won the competition again. Netball has been a sport that Portland Cottage Primary formerly Portland Cottage All Age, loves and participate in. We were competitive and we did fairly well, although we did not have a proper netball court.

Thanks to the Sports Development Foundation we were gifted with a multipurpose court and this has helped our netball improve leaps and bounds. We were able to retain our INSPORT netball title again. With our new court we will be working very hard to be champions again in 2023.

The Southern Basketball Conference and the mother of Miss Jennell Houston wishes to express our gratitude to the SDF for providing financial support to Miss Houston enabling her to access her scholarship offer to attend the North Florida Educational Institure recently.

Miss Houston left the island on Tuesday November 8, 2022 and so far the feed back from the coaches have been most encouraging.

Without the support of the SDF this would not have been possible for her and behalf of everybody we wish to express our gratitude and thanks.

Miss Houston we are sure, is very much aware of the responsibility on her shoulders to make maximum use of this opportunity. 

Hampton School hereby acknowledges the Sports Development Foundation’s generous gesture of repaving and fencing of our Netball and Tennis Courts. The refurbished Courts are essential to a robust Physical Education and Sport Programme.

As such, we express our profound gratitude and extend to the Sports Development Foundation our best wishes, as it continues in its thrust to assist various institutions in need.

Four youths of our outreach project in the community were recently offered basketball scholarships to attend the North Florida Educational Institute in the USA. Three girls and one boy: 
Fabian Kennedy - Camperdown High
Tahjera Forbes - Queens School
Leka Reid - Haile Selassie High
Jennell Houston - Haile Selassie High
 
Kennedy left the island to start school two weeks ago. Leka Reid and Tahjera Forbes will leave tomorrow at midday.
 
The 3rd girl Jennell Houston is still pending as her birth paper is being processed. We have been assisted by the office of Minister Grange in resolving this matter.

The Eastern Secondary Schools Sports Association extends gratitude to you for the donation of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars to enable the hosting of our event at the National Stadium. This certainly assisted us greatly in defraying the cost of the event.

I am happy that you were kind enough to contribute to the development of our young and talented athletes who got the opportunity to showcase their athletic capabilities at such a momentous event as Eastern Championships.

Again I express sincere gratitude and wish the Sports Development Foundation every success in their future endeavours.

The Linstead Community Development Committee along with the following organizations namely: St. Helens Youth Group, the Rotary Club of North St. Catherine, the Optimist Club of North St. Catherine and the Optimist Club of Ewarton hosted their Annual Summer Youth Camp under the theme, “Celebrating thirty (30) years of youth and community development through summer youth camping”.

Through your generous contribution this year’s summer camp experience was phenomenal, as we celebrated our thirtieth (30th) anniversary year of camping in full style. We were able to adequately facilitate campers between ages of seven (7) to twenty ( 20) years old from churches, uniformed groups, community groups, as well as those with disabilities.

The camp that was held over the period of August 8th-22nd 2022 sought to build integral life skills while we still practiced the safety measures to prevent the Novel Corona Virus. Team building was the foundation of the camp and expressing gratitude through the spirit of volunteerism.

The Linstead Community Development Committee wishes to express its unwavering appreciation for the help received. With your contributions you have helped to change lives and restore the hopes of a brighter future. Thank you for your continuous support as we continue to build our communities, parishes and our country Jamaica; land we love.

On behalf of the St. Mary Cricket Association, I would like to thank you and your organization for your generous assistance with the staging of our annual Youth Summer Cricket Academy. Your contribution over the past two years has gone a long way in helping our parish rise to the pinnacle of Jamaica’s cricket.

You have no idea how much your assistance means to us in a tough economic climate and at the appropriate time, we will display our appreciation in a more tangible way.

Our youngsters are rearing to go and send their regards.

We look forward to your kind consideration and further dialogue as you see fit. We thank you for your kind consideration and look forward to a continued fruitful and rewarding partnership.

Manchester Club in general and the tennis club specifically would like to take this opportunity to thank you and SDF for accepting and awarding our request for funds. Immediately the funds will be put to use on repairing our 3 tennis courts. We hope to have some fabulous pictures to post within a few weeks and you all are always invited to come by to see the progress or end product.

All the tennis members send you all big Cheers! As you can imagine, we have finally moved from dreaming of great courts to actually seeing the first steps towards that goal.

We realise that there must be many courts island wide who need assistance, so we are grateful for these funds granted to us. Our tennis club is located at the oldest golf club in the western hemisphere, so having pristine courts to better serve Mandeville, all of Jamaica and all our visitors from abroad, is important.

Again, none of this would have been possible if it wasn’t for you and your team at SDF’s consideration and inevitable generosity.

We cannot thank you enough for your kind donation of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) which definitely helped with airfares to the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games in Orlando, Florida. The athletes trained very hard and they went to the Games and delivered. Special Olympics Jamaica participated in Athletics, Bocce, Open Water Swim and Swimming.

We captured 5 Golds, 5 Silver, 2 Bronze and 9 ribbons across all events.

Once again, thanks for giving our athletes a chance to showcase their talent on the world stage and make our country proud.

On behalf of all the members of the Linstead Community Development Committee we would like to use this medium to express our many thanks and how grateful we are for the contribution you’ve made towards the organization and our annual summer youth camp program.

May the Lord continue to bless you and sustain your business going forward.

We do look forward to continue doing business with you and offer our service in any way we can.

The Jamaica Lacrosse Association would like to thank the SDF for their continued support for the development of lacrosse in Jamaica and on the international stage. Because of your support, we were able to send members of our Senior Men's, U19 Female and Senior Women's teams to represent our country at various World Championship events in 2018, 2019 and 2022.

Thank you SDF, and we are looking forward to a continued mutually beneficial relationship.

It is with a heart of gratitude and a spirit of great appreciation that the St. Catherine Football Association express its voice in saying a big thank you to the Sports Development Foundation for their contribution that led us to the success of our inaugural cook out event.

We look forward to our continued relationship through sports.

On behalf of the President, Council of the ASAJ, the Management Team, parents, and members of the CARIFTA National Age Group Swim Team who are scheduled to depart the island for Barbados on Thursday, April 14, 2022, we write to express our sincere thanks to you and the Government of Jamaica for the generous contribution of Seven Million Dollars ($7m) towards funding the preparation and participation of the CARIFTA Swim Team to the XXXV CARIFTA Swimming Championships, which will be held in Barbados over the Easter weekend.

Jamaica, who finished in second place at the last staging of the Championships in 2019, will be sending a team of thirty-three (33) swimmers and they will be accompanied by a management team of five including the team manager, two coaches, a doctor, and a physiotherapist.

Your contribution will not only serve as a confidence booster to our young swimmers, but it will also ensure that Jamaica will be represented by a full-strength team of all the available athletes at the Championships. Once again, thanks for affording our swimmers the opportunity to represent their country with pride at these Championships and we look forward to your continued support as we work together to build on and improve the standard of all the aquatic disciplines in which we currently compete at both the local and international level namely, swimming, diving, artistic swimming, open water swimming, and water polo.

The Jamaica Karate Federation appreciates the support of the Sports Development Foundation. The generous contribution will be applied to our federation's 2022 World Karate Federation Membership fees. This enables our athletes to maintain their eligibility to participate in international events and pursue long term goals such as the Pan-American Games and the Youth Olympic Games.

Karate is still being classified as a minor sport and does not get the kudos or hype that the more popular sports such as football, track and field, netball do. But two organizations that continue to give great support to karate in Jamaica are the Jamaica Olympic Association (JOA) and the Sports Development Foundation (SDF).

These two bodies have been extremely supportive of our Karate teams in their endeavour for advanced training and participation in overseas qualification tournaments.

These teams have achieved much success and it wouldn't have been possible without the JOA and the SDF.

Nuff respect and gratitude to both.
