Digicel maintains support for KMTC
Public Relations Manager Shonnet Moore hands over the sponsorship cheque top KMTC Representative Justice Cecil Kennard yesterday.
Digicel maintained its support for the sport of horse racing with a timely presentation of $300,000 for the ‘F’ & Lower event at the Kennard’s Memorial Turf Club (KMTC) Phagwah Meeting which will be held on Monday, at Bush Lot Farm. Corentyne, Berbice.
Yesterday in the Boardroom of the Company’s Head Office in Kingston, Public Relations Manager Shonnet Moore presented the replica cheque to Club Representative Justice Cecil Kennard during a simple ceremony.
Moore speaking at the occasion said that it was the third year that Digicel has offered its support to the Club, adding that the Company is very pleased to be part of the event and to assist in the enhancement of the sport.
“We will continue to lend our support to build the sport and I’m hoping that with Monday being a holiday many families will come out and attend the races,” Moore stated.
Kennard in his response acknowledged the kindness of Digicel towards the club, pointing out that this was the sixth Meet that the Company has supported and they’re extremely grateful for the support.
He added that the sponsorship is necessary for the sustenance of the sport, disclosing that without such assistance it is almost impossible for it to survive.
Seven races are carded for the day and among the horses listed to compete in the ‘F’ & Lower event are Zelona, Harry’s Dream, Dubai Duchess, King Maker, Fresh Prospect and Megan’s Choice.
According to Kennard, the club has planned three more Meets for the year and they will be held on May 1, August 14 and December 26.
