An official of the Joseph ‘Reds’ Perreira Sports Foundation Inc. hands over the cheque to President of the Guyana Volleyball Federation John Flores on Tuesday.
The Guyana Volleyball Federation received a welcome boost on Tuesday when the Joseph ‘Reds’ Perriera Sports Foundation Inc. donated a cheque for $250,000 to the entity.
Receiving the cheque on behalf of the Federatio was its President John Flores, who was evidently pleased with the impetus given to the sport and expressed his overall satisfaction with the direction the sport is heading and the momentum it appears to be developing.
In his gratitude to the Foundation, Flores explained that he has always been aware of the contributions it has been making to the development of sports and sporting organisations in Guyana over the years, and is pleased that the GVF has now joined the long list of beneficiaries of its generosity.
He outlined that the GVF is a Federation on the rise, adding that such a donation will go a far way towards helping them to keep the ball flying as they have a packed calendar to complete in 2015, which includes among other things, running off its Premier League for the elite local clubs and the hosting of the annual Guyoil / Tradewind Tankers International Tournament slated for October and November respectively.
Flores, who leaves for Peru on today to attend the South American Volleyball Federation Congress, said he intends to further strengthen the relationship between GVF and CSV.
Shortly after his return from Congress, the National Men’s team heads to Brazil on September 26th for the Senior South American Indoor Championship.
