Supreme Ventures Foundation gets behind Glasgow jaunt

The Supreme Ventures Foundation (SVF) has provided a $3.5-million boost to Jamaica’s senior netball team, the Sunshine Girls, to support their pre-Commonwealth Games training camp. The donation arrives at a critical moment in the team’s preparations, with the Sunshine Girls due to depart shortly for Glasgow, Scotland, where they will represent Jamaica at the Commonwealth Games from July 23 to August 2. 
The funding will go directly towards the final phase of camp training, giving the national coaching staff the resources needed to fine-tune combinations and strategy before the squad takes to the international stage.
The handover made by SVF Director Heather Goldson to Netball Jamaica President Karen Rosen-Baugh extends a partnership between Supreme Ventures Limited (SVL), the Supreme Ventures Foundation and Netball Jamaica that has spanned major tournament cycles, underscoring the foundation’s continued investment in national youth development and elite sporting performance.
Goldson said the contribution reflects the foundation’s belief that Jamaica’s athletes deserve to be fully supported whenever they represent the country on the international stage.
“The Sunshine Girls have delivered consistent excellence for decades and remain outstanding ambassadors of the Jamaican spirit. Whenever our national teams are called to represent Jamaica, we see it as both a privilege and a responsibility to ensure they are fully prepared. The team delivered an exceptional performance at the last Commonwealth Games, earning a silver medal, and we would love to see them at least match – and ideally surpass – that achievement in Glasgow. We are proud to stand behind them and wish them every success as they pursue gold.”
Pivotal stage 
Speaking at the handover, Rosen-Baugh welcomed the timing and significance of the foundation’s contribution.
“The Supreme Ventures Foundation have always been great supporters of netball, and in this instance we are super excited and grateful for the support for our pre-Commonwealth Games camp.”
She explained that the camp represents a pivotal stage in the team’s build-up to the tournament, giving the coaching staff room to perfect the squad’s readiness before departure.
Rosen-Baugh was candid about the funding pressures that accompany preparing a national team for international competition, and the relief that comes when long-standing partners step forward.
“We, as usual, struggle a bit with funding, and when we call on SVL, they always come through, and we are happy for the support.”
Beyond netball, Rosen-Baugh spoke to the wider significance of SVL’s philanthropy across Jamaica’s sporting landscape, describing the company’s support as indispensable to the preparation of national teams.
“I don’t think the sporting fraternity in Jamaica could do without SVL. We certainly depend and rely on them a lot for support, especially when it comes to big tournaments. They play an absolutely vital role in the sporting fraternity, in how sporting teams prepare themselves, and I don’t think we’d want to see a Jamaica without SVL.”
The handover marks the latest chapter in a track record of support that has followed Netball Jamaica through consecutive major assignments. Rosen-Baugh recalled the foundation’s $5m contribution to the team ahead of the Netball Youth World Cup in 2025, noting that several of the players who benefitted from that support now form part of the senior programme.
