Indeed amidst all of the planning, the event could not have been staged devoid of corporate intervention and yesterday afternoon, Sankar’s Auto Works, Durey Lane, Campbellville, acquiesced to a request from the organizers and donated a tangible sum towards the successful staging of the event.
Internal Accountant of Sankar’s Auto Works, Donette Sullivan, handed over the requisite cheque to representative of RCMTC&SF, Zenzie Goring at her organization’s office while committing to support of this and other sports ventures. The latter individual expressed profound gratitude while assuring her benefactor that the gift would indeed offset expenses.
Meanwhile, the B & Lower event over a distance of one mile will be the feature attraction and carries a grand prize of one million dollars.
The second place finisher will receive half that amount, while the third and fourth places receive $250,000 and $125,000 respectively.
There will also be several other clashes including the E & Lower, H & Lower, 12 & Lower, G & Lower, 2 yrs old open, 3 yrs old open and the J&K (Div 1&2).
