Kaieteur Sports – Associated Construction, one of Guyana’s leading construction firms, has proudly reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to local sports and community development through its continued sponsorship of the prestigious Guyana Cup & Super Concert.
Under the leadership of founder and owner Peter Lewis, the company has been a proud sponsor of the event since its inception.
Associated Construction has earned a reputation for excellence in residential, commercial and civil construction projects across Guyana. With a focus on quality, reliability and community investment, the company is dedicated to building a better Guyana, “one project at a time.” Over the years, Associated Construction’s support has tremendously enhanced the event’s visibility through increased attendance both locally and from the wider Caribbean region. The company’s philanthropic efforts through the years have supported initiatives that foster development, unity, and national heritage.
For the past 17 years Guyana Cup has stood as one of the most anticipated events in the country’s horse racing calendar, fusing top-tier competitors and horse racing enthusiasts while creating an atmosphere of celebration and cultural pride. From the beginning, Peter Lewis and Associated Construction have played a pivotal role in the racing fraternity that transcends into growth, development and the success of the sport.
The high stakes event is set to gallop into action on Sunday 17th August, 2025 at the iconic Rising Sun Turf Club from 9am with the first race carded to run at 11am. Guyana cup continues to be the cornerstone of national sporting pride and a major attraction for fans and horse racing professionals throughout Guyana and the region.
This year is expected to surpass previous years with the largest purse in the history of Horse Racing in Guyana with a price tag of over $50,000,000. The record-breaking purse is guaranteed to attract all of the elite horses and jockeys from across the region.
When contacted, business owner Peter Lewis explained, “Sponsoring the Guyana Cup is more than just a business decision, it’s a way of giving back to the community that has supported us for years. We believe in the power of sport to unite people, uplift communities and promote national pride. As the Guyana Cup continues to grow, so does Associated Construction’s role in enhancing the brand. It’s extremely challenging to carry the burden of funding these mega events, out of pocket without corporate intervention. We understand that these events create employment, increase revenue for vendors and unite communities throughout Guyana through sport. My team is honored to continue this longstanding partnership with Jumbo Jet Events and Guyana Cup.”
