Powerade and Dasani, two\u00a0 prominent global brands distributed by the Grenada Bottling Company Limited, are proud to\u00a0 announce the continuation of its secondary school sponsorship program aimed at supporting\u00a0 school sports across the nation. The Powerade\/Dasani Secondary School Athletic Series reflects\u00a0 their unwavering commitment to fostering active and healthy lifestyles among students and\u00a0 building stronger communities through sports.<\/p>\n
The 2023\/2024 installment of the initiative commenced on Friday November 3, 2023, as students\u00a0 of the Grenada Boys Secondary School were able to benefit from Powerade and Dasani hydration\u00a0 stations set-up along their cross-country route.<\/p>\n
In previous years, the GBCL has supported the sports day event of secondary schools across the\u00a0 state. However, this year, the company has increased its sponsorship to offer additional support\u00a0 to the schools during the entirety of the sports season.<\/p>\n
Commercial and Marketing Manager, Nekoyan Bain, commented \u201cWe are happy to be able to\u00a0 increase our efforts this year and extend our support to include the cross-country road races, road\u00a0 relays and other activities leading up to the actual sports day. The Powerade\/Dasani Secondary\u00a0 Schools sponsorship initiative is designed to empower our young athletes, elevate their overall\u00a0 sports experience, and instill a lifelong passion for physical fitness, and we can only do so if we\u00a0 support as many of the schools\u2019 activities as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bain also spoke of the value of GBCL\u2019s support stating \u201cour sponsorship of these events offers many benefits. Our young athletes have an opportunity to benefit from Powerade Isotonic, which\u00a0 is the official hydration partner for many world-class events and athletes including the Olympic\u00a0 Games and the FIFA World Cup. Secondly, our Dasani brand continues to lead the way in our\u00a0 commitment to environmental sustainability with packages that are made from 25% recyclable\u00a0 material. Additionally, for the 2023\/2024 season there is an increase in the value of our\u00a0 sponsorship to over XCD$40,000 as we aim to support more of the events of all the secondary\u00a0 schools in Grenada & Carriacou.\u201d<\/p>\n
Through this sponsorship, Powerade and Dasani aim to create a positive and lasting impact on the\u00a0 lives of young athletes, promoting a healthier and more active generation. By supporting schools,\u00a0 they aspire to lay a solid foundation for the future of sports in our communities.<\/p>\n
Powerade and Dasani are eagerly anticipating a successful partnership with the schools and\u00a0 communities involved. They look forward to nurturing sports excellence in schools and\u00a0 contributing to the well-being of our youth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
