HOLMWOOD TECHNICAL'S track and field athletics team has received sponsorship from Cari-Med Limited for the upcoming Boys and Girls' Athletics Championships, which will run from March 29 to April 1 at the National Stadium.
The presentation of $170,000, as well as individual sports gear and care products, was presented by Cari-Med's management team to athletes and their coaches during morning devotion in the school's auditorium last Friday.
"This group has been very supportive of Holmwood over the years. We are very happy for the fine gesture and hope we will show our appreciation by our performance on and off the field," said principal Paul Bailey.
Senior product manager at Cari-Med, Allison Dexter, said apart from cash, "the team will be supplied with all that they need and our company will be at the venue to cheer them on".
The girls' team, with 45 members, are the defending champions and are looking to win their fourth straight title. The boys team comprises 25 athletes.
