Wendy’s onboard with VMFA year-end festival

Wendy’s Guyana on Wednesday announced their partnership with the Vurlon Mills Football Academy (VMFA) for the Academy’s annual Year-End Football Festival. According to a missive from the establishment, the collaboration underscores Wendy’s ongoing commitment to empowering young people, strengthening communities, and promoting positive development through sport.

The VMFA Year-End Football Festival – now in its third year – brings together over 100 young athletes, ages four to 15, across multiple age categories for a day of fun, teamwork, and healthy competition. With teams representing age groups from U6 to U14, the event provides an inspiring platform for young footballers to improve their skills, build confidence, and foster sportsmanship.
Founder of the VMFA, Vurlon Mills, said that he “continues to see the positive impact and progress this programme brings to its participants of all ages. Private sector companies play a big role in making this programme a success, and we are excited to have Wendy’s on board and grateful for the support.
Wendy’s Guyana noted that they are thrilled to support the initiative and to stand alongside organisations that invest in youth talent, community engagement, and the future of local sport. This partnership aligns with Wendy’s broader mission of enriching the communities we serve and creating meaningful opportunities for young people to grow, thrive, and shine.
“At Wendy’s Guyana, we believe in the power of sport to inspire discipline, teamwork, and ambition,” said the company’s Director, Iman Cummings. “We are honoured to support the Vurlon Mills Football Academy and the incredible work they do in shaping the next generation of athletes and leaders.”
The Year-End Football Festival will take place on December 20, 2025, bringing families, supporters, and young players together for a memorable celebration of youth football in Guyana.
