PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten, July 31, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- That's a wrap! The Patriots Cheerleaders' Official 2019 Swimsuit Calendar photo shoot at Divi Little Bay Beach Resort on St. Maarten has come to an end, leaving a lasting impact on the island, the resort and the visiting cheerleaders.
"When you consider the suffering this island and its people endured not long ago, and how far we've come in less than a year, the Patriots Cheerleaders choosing to feature our destination is really a testament to the resilience and natural beauty of St. Maarten," said Marco Galaverna, Divi Resorts President & COO. "It proves that this island is still a strong leader in the Caribbean and it gives the community hope for the future."
For one week only, from July 23-30, the Patriots Cheerleaders were on St. Maarten shooting their ever-popular annual swimsuit calendar and various video productions. In-between shoots, the ladies met locals, dignitaries and media, and explored St. Maarten's landmarks, culture and history through a variety of planned activities.
"The Patriots Cheerleaders have truly enjoyed their stay at the Divi Little Bay Beach Resort, with the island of St. Maarten being one of the most beautiful destinations they've ever visited," said the Patriots Cheerleaders' Director Tracy Sormanti. "The hospitality at the resort was second to none and we're sad to leave this tropical paradise!"
The cheerleaders had a packed schedule during their stay on the island, including a guided tour by the French Tourist Authority of Grand Case to take part in a personalized perfume experience at Tijon Parfumerie and dine on delicious cuisine at the beautiful Loterie Farm. The ladies also visited Philipsburg with the St. Maarten Tourist Bureau for a guided tour of Front Street with stops at the Courthouse, the Guavaberry Emporium, Gelateria Milano, Majesty Jewelers (where the cheerleaders received St. Maarten Alex and Ani charm bracelets), Topper's Rhum Distillery and more! The cheerleaders finished their busy day singing their hearts out at Divi Little Bay's Karaoke Night, joining guests for an evening of music and fun.
On Thursday, July 26, the cheerleaders volunteered their time to visit the New Start for Children Foundation to deliver and serve a BBQ lunch for the children, their foster parents and caregivers. Everyone enjoyed a cheerleader performance and playing games together. The ladies finished off the night with a relaxing sunset cruise, sponsored by Aqua Mania Adventures, which the public was invited to join. Attendees enjoyed mingling with the cheerleaders, live music and a spectacular St. Maarten sunset.
The cheerleaders' final days were filled with even more exciting events, including kicking off water collection on the island for the first time in 2018 for the Blue Flag environmental project, a mouthwatering menu tasting with an interactive chef cooking experience hosted by Divi Little Bay's Executive Chef Octavio Verheist, a thrilling ride down the world's steepest zip line at Rainforest Adventures and a lively beach fun day with BBQ lunch, water games, live music and dancing.
"The Patriots Cheerleaders are a wonderful group of young women and it was an honor to host them on our resort," said Divi Little Bay's General Manager Anne-Marie Brooks. "Their energy and eagerness to learn about the island was uplifting, and they really helped raise the spirits of those around them, bringing positive vibes wherever they went!
The Official 2019 Patriots Cheerleaders Calendar goes on sale later this year.
"Our 2019 Patriots Cheerleaders Swimsuit Calendar and Sideline to Shoreline video production will be our best yet with St. Maarten as our backdrop, and we're grateful for the Divi Little Bay Beach Resort's hospitality," Sormanti added. "The kindness of the locals coupled with the beauty of the ocean and scenery has made this a picture-perfect trip!"
