PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO. January 02, 2026 – Throughout December, Digicel and the Digicel Foundation delivered a combined $1.7 million in investment aimed at creating real connections and supporting national development across Trinidad and Tobago. Through Digicel’s Christmas Runs on Real Connections campaign and the Foundation’s year-end social investments, the company is celebrating the spirit of the season by appreciating customers and uplifting communities.
Under the banner of its Christmas Runs on Real Connections campaign, Digicel dedicated $700,000 to prizes and weekly giveaways designed to transform everyday moments into festive celebrations. A central feature of the season was the Digicel Community Pop-Up Caravan, which travelled through markets and main roads across the country. Accompanied by Santa and his helpers, the caravan surprised customers with gifts ranging from groceries to Christmas hams, sharing genuine moments of appreciation with the public in their respective neighbourhoods – in both Trinidad and in Tobago.
Beyond the retail excitement, the Digicel Foundation, alongside its partner Shell, reinforced its commitment to social development with a $1 million investment through its Extraordinary Projects Impacting Communities (EPIC) programme. This initiative focuses on creating lasting, positive change by providing significant funding to the non-profit sector.
Earlier in December, the Foundation confirmed grants of $100,000 each for ten (10)non-profit organisations across Trinidad and Tobago. These funds are designated for community-based projects that foster sustainable development, ensuring that the holiday season leaves a permanent impact on the lives of those who need it most.
Together, the $1.7 million investment from the Christmas Runs on Real Connections campaign and the EPIC programme reflects a belief that the season is about more than just celebration. It’s about making a difference in the lives of others.
