The 2023 edition of the Kares CrossFit Caribbean Championship, set for April 15-16 at the National Aquatic Centre and the National Park, has been gaining momentum from a corporate support/ partnership perspective.
The organisers have confirmed that the event, which will see over 4 million in cash and prizes being handed out, has gained the support of Assuria and Builders Lumber Yard.

The two businesses have presented their sponsorship packages for the successful hosting of the two-day competition, which will see some 40 athletes, including the best in the CrossFit business from six nations, vying for supremacy.
Ms. Fiona Sooklall, Head of Department, Assuria General GY, in presenting her company’s contribution to Representative of Kares Caribbean CrossFit, Ms. Mary Fung-A-Fat, said the company is more than pleased to be supporting the event, which will see participation from six nations.
“This is an event that will showcase a high level of discipline from the finest athletes in the sport. The standard would be high, and as a company, our standards are very high, so you see the nexus is there. We would like to wish all the athletes every success, and while there would be a winner in the male and female categories, all the athletes are winners at the end of the day,” Ms Sooklall has said.
Ms. Fung-A-Fat conveyed the appreciation of the organisers to Ms. Sooklall, noting that the partnership is well appreciated.

Meanwhile, Ms. Dorsel Bosan, Company Secretary of Builders Lumber Yard, also expressed that entity’s delight at being able to be on board such an event.
“An event like this affords participants the opportunity to exhibit a high level of sportsmanship and passion as they aim to outdo each other to be the best. It does not come easy though, as lots of hard work and commitment would have to be put into getting their bodies in shape. As a company, we are fully supportive of the event, and look forward to some exciting duels on April 15th and 16th. We wish you well,” Ms Bosan has said.
Ms. Fung-A-Fat also uttered thanks to Ms. Bosan for the support of the entity, and assured that the duels would be of the highest quality on both days.
