Star Party Rentals supports Redeemer Primary
– donates football apparel
Star Party yesterday confirmed its sponsorship of Redeemer Primary School football team. Chief Executive Officer and former national cricketer Lennox Cush, owner of the party rental service said he liked what he was reading in the press about the school’s performance in the just concluded Courts sponsored Schools Pee Wee Championship.
“When Mr. Cole approached me, I was happy to come on board because I liked the level of football the school played. Sports have always been a part of my life from very early and I always wanted to give back to sports. Knowing few of my friends came out of Redeemer also inspired me”.
Co-Director of Petra Organisation Troy Mendonca collects the package from Star Party Rental official in the presence of Coach Johnny ‘Overseas’ Barnwell and team members yesterday.
Cush said he knows that sports together with academics will help the boys in their lives as they get older.
Redeemer’s Coach Johnny ‘Overseas’ Barnwell said he was grateful for the sponsorship, “I want to thank Mr. Cush for his gesture for the gears he has given the school. The gears will encourage the boys to move from strength to strength to become one of the top schools in football”.
Barnwell said the boys have returned to training since they intend to make it to the final next year.
One of the team members, Shamar Dover said he was extending thanks to Cush on behalf of the head teacher, coach and players. The boys received uniforms, boots, socks and shin pads.
The competition was organised by Petra Organisation which is headed by Marlan Cole and Troy Mendonca.
Mendonca said their aim is to ensure that they secure sponsorship for all of the sixteen teams that participated in the school’s championship. Already sponsorship was secured for three other schools including Tucville, St. Gabriel’s and St. Pius.
The drive to secure support arose after many of the schools were unable to outfit their players with football apparel.
