Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company, Mr. Omadatt Samaroo stated that he was privileged to have the opportunity to make a donation towards the Robert’s Champions Boxing Gym. The Company, he added, decided to come on board mainly due to the fact “that Robert’s Champions Boxing Gym creates great opportunity for youths thereby keeping them off the street and away from drugs, crime and other illicit activities.” “The Company will continue to sponsor other events subjected to the availability of funds at that time and is looking at a wider cross section of sports and other charitable, non–charitable, Government, Non–Government and inclusive of Entertainment,” Samaroo added.
