maintained its close association with the Hikers Hockey Club when it handed over $300,000 to the club, during a simple presentation ceremony at the company’s location on Water Street yesterday.
Marketing Manager Natheeah Mendonca, who along with Marketing Assistant Nadine Luthers- Williams acted on behalf of the Company, handed over the cheque to members of the club Nicole Eastman, Robert Brummell, Leon Bacchus and Tekeisha DeLeon and Head Coach Robert Fernandes.
The presentation marked the sixth year that the company has offered assistance to the club and the support will go towards the procurement of the team’s official Western Union branded uniforms and to offset the team’s travel to Trinidad and Tobago in November to compete in the Magnolias International Indoor tournament.
A release from the company stated that, “Grace Kennedy is proud of these players, who, from the inception have shown their determination and commitment to the success of their team and displayed that at many tournaments they participated in both locally and abroad.”
Fernandes in brief remarks said the club is once again heartened by the support from the company, adding that the partnership with Western Union has been instrumental in the development of some of Guyana’s top junior players.
This year, three members who benefitted from the partnership since 2010- Jamarj Assanah, Andrew Stewart and Aroydy Branford- were instrumental in helping the national Men’s team win bronze at the Indoor Pan American Cup in Montevideo, Uruguay.
