Turks and Caicos Jadot Cup Tournament on Providenciales
Annual Providenciales Golf Event Supports TCAAF
Kick off your weekend off with an exquisite meal prepared by a talented executive chef. Later, tee off for golf on a course created by a master designer. But this special weekend promises participants of the Turks and Caicos Jadot Cup Tournament on Providenciales more than a gourmet memory or a hole in one; it gives them the chance to leave a legacy of opportunity and encouragement to others.
Jadot Cup Tournament
The 16th Annual Jadot Cup Tournament June 24-26 on Providenciales is a popular island charity event featuring a golf tournament, dinner and silent auction to support the work of the Turks and Caicos AIDS Awareness Foundation (TCAAF). The foundation creates awareness about HIV and AIDS and works towards removing discrimination and negativity related to these conditions. TCAAF established the Edward C. Gartland Youth Centre, a place for young people to acquire skills and get education about life skills and daily living.
The Jadot Cup takes its name from the world renowned Louis Jadot Wines which were served at the first event dinner in 2000. The event is organized by Terry Drummey, founder of TCAAF, and recipient of the First Caribbean’s 2010 Unsung Hero Award for remarkable charity work.
