Frozen Delight Brings a Cool Touch to the upcoming Archery Championships 2026
Kaieteur Sports – As Guyana prepares to welcome archers from across the Caribbean and beyond for the Caribbean Developmental Championship (CDC) 2026 and the Inaugural Caribbean Championships, a thoughtful and refreshing contribution from Frozen Delight is set to bring a welcome taste of cool relief to athletes, officials, volunteers and spectators.
Frozen Delight, owned by Faraad and Bibi Amreeta Gani, has proudly committed to donating 300 popsicles per day throughout the five-day championship, scheduled for October 22–26, 2026, at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.
That means approximately 1,500 complimentary popsicles will be provided across the competition.
And the timing could hardly be better.

Guyana is experiencing notably high temperatures this season, with recent reporting highlighting unusually hot conditions and increased demand for electricity. Climate data for the Providence area indicates that October can still bring substantial heat, with historical October temperatures reaching approximately 89–92°F (32–33°C) depending on the climate dataset and location reference.
Archery is a sport of precision, patience and concentration. Athletes may spend hours on the field, while coaches, judges, volunteers, families and spectators contribute to the energy and atmosphere surrounding the competition.
Frozen Delight’s contribution recognises that the athlete experience extends beyond the shooting line.
In addition to the daily donation of 300 popsicles, Frozen Delight will have a variety of other frozen treats available for purchase by participants, supporters and visitors throughout the championship.
The initiative is intended to encourage community spirit, provide refreshments and contribute to the overall enjoyment of what promises to be a landmark sporting event for Guyana and the Caribbean.
Archery Guyana President and Local Organising Committee Chair, Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon, expressed appreciation for the contribution, noting that practical support such as this can make a meaningful difference to the experience of athletes and visitors. “We are extremely grateful to Faraad and Bibi Amreeta Gani and the Frozen Delight team for recognising that sometimes the simplest contributions can make the biggest difference. With athletes competing outdoors in Guyana’s October heat, having a cold treat waiting for them is going to be very welcome indeed!”
Vidushi went on to state: “We want people to remember not only the competition, but the warmth of the welcome they received in Guyana. Frozen Delight is helping us do exactly that…. quite literally bringing a little coolness to the Archery Championship!”
According to Mrs. Bibi Amreeta Gani, “For Frozen Delight, the contribution is about more than selling frozen treats. It is about giving back, supporting sport and helping create a memorable experience for the wider community.”
Mr. Faraad Gani stated: “Being involved in archery has shown me how much goes into creating a successful competition, not only from the athletes, but from coaches, officials, volunteers, parents and sponsors. We wanted to contribute in a practical way and help make the Championship a memorable experience for everyone. Supporting sport is about supporting the entire archery community around it.”
The organisers warmly welcome Frozen Delight as a supporter of the Archery Championships 2026 and thank the Gani family for helping to make the championship a little sweeter…. and considerably cooler.
Because after a few hours under the Guyanese sun, nothing says “welcome to Guyana” quite like a frozen treat!
