Freeport, Grand Bahama, December 3, 2024— Leslie’s Trades proudly sponsored the 4th Annual Shockwave Elite 5 Youth Flag Football Tournament, reinforcing its commitment to youth development and community empowerment. This partnership extends beyond the field, highlighting Shockwave’s impactful mission to mentor young men and foster their growth into disciplined, financially intelligent, and productive citizens.
The tournament, which drew over 50 young athletes, was not only a celebration of sportsmanship but also a platform for personal development.
