Brimming with enthusiasm, Norman Hemming, Vice President of JCOBAFL, opined: “We are extremely excited about this year’s True Blue weekend and Dennis Ziadie Cup. This annual fundraising events gives us the opportunity to provide scholarships to JC and STGC high schools students while honoring the legacy of Dennis Ziadie”

The True Blue weekend is an expansion from the annual Ziadie Cup soccer match between The St. George’s College Old Boys Association of Florida, Inc. and The Jamaica College Old Boys Association of Florida, Inc. The annual match commemorates and honors, Dennis Ziadie, who coached both schools to Manning Cup victories. Each year, this event draws close to two thousand soccer enthusiasts and supporters.
