Wireless Communication and Broadband Internet Company, E-Networks presented a cheque yesterday to the Coordinators of the upcoming President’s/Jefford Track and Field Classic, which will fully sponsor the fourth place award of the competition.
E-Networks’ Leisa Waddell, in making the presentation, said that the company is pleased to be a major part of the development of athletes in Guyana.
She noted that E-Networks has an excellent track record as it relates to the support of local sport events.
“It is my pleasure to hand over this money, which will be beneficial to our athletes. E-Networks is always happy to be associated with our local athletes,” Waddell said, adding that she is assured that the event will have the necessary standard that was related.
