The inaugural Trevor Ariza Celebrity Impact Weekend raised $50,000 for the Turks and Caicos Islands Sports Commission's Athlete Development Fund and hosted a free basketball clinic for 150 local youth on Providenciales before concluding on August 2, 2026.
Produced by BIG Limited and founded by 2009 NBA Champion Trevor Ariza, the three-day event featured a welcoming reception at South Bank Resort, a youth clinic at Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex, and a celebrity golf tournament won by a team featuring former NFL player Jason Cabinda. Visiting professional athletes included Paul Pierce, Lamar Odom, Matt Barnes, and Aaron Gordon. Following the clinic, former MLB player Tyson Ross and his non-profit Loyal To My Soil donated more than 100 pieces of training equipment to the Sports Commission.
The Turks and Caicos Islands Sports Commission will distribute the donated basketballs, cones, and training apparatus across its offices in Providenciales, Grand Turk, South Caicos, North Caicos, and Middle Caicos. The raised funds will supply direct financial aid to emerging and elite Turks and Caicos Islander athletes for training and competition, while South Bank Resort prepares for the opening of its flagship Arc neighbourhood in December 2026.
