Olympic 100m gold medalist and World Indoor 60m champion Julien Alfred has taken a monumental step in giving back to her community through the Julien Alfred Foundation. The foundation hosted its inaugural event—a delightful Christmas party—at her alma mater, Ciceron R.C. Combined School, creating an unforgettable day for the students filled with gifts, treats, and inspiration.
The event featured live band performances, festive activities, and a highlight moment: a live Zoom chat with Alfred herself. The St. Lucian track star shared words of encouragement with the students, reflecting on her journey from the very classrooms they now occupy to the pinnacle of global athletics.
Alfred, who officially launched her foundation in April in St. Lucia, revealed back then the profound inspiration behind the initiative. In an exclusive interview with Sportsmax.TV, she shared, “I just wanted to give back to the youth. Whether it’s academically or sports-wise, I want to provide them with opportunities I wish I had at their age.”
Supported by sponsors Puma and First National Bank, as well as Alfred’s personal contributions, the Julien Alfred Foundation focuses on meeting critical needs for St. Lucian youth. From school supplies to athletic equipment, the foundation is driven by Alfred’s commitment to empowering the next generation.
Alfred’s determination to give back stems from her humble beginnings in St. Lucia. Despite her meteoric rise to becoming an Olympic champion, Alfred has remained deeply connected to her roots.
The Christmas party at Ciceron R.C. Combined School was a resounding success, leaving the students with cherished memories and a sense of inspiration. Through her foundation, Alfred not only delivered a day of joy but also a message of hope, proving that greatness can emerge from any corner of the world.
