C&W Jamaica brings Asafa Powell to Boys and Girls Champs 2008
The world’s fastest man, Asafa Powell, will be on hand to present prizes to the top male and female athletes at this year’s Inter-Secondary Schools Association (ISSA) Boys’ and Girls’ Athletic Championships, courtesy of Cable & Wireless Jamaica (C&WJ), an associate sponsor of the meet.
C&WJ has contributed approximately $3.8 million to the staging of the 2008 championships, which is the second allocation under a three-year agreement with ISSA. The amount represents a 15 per cent increase over C&WJ’s contribution last year.
Vice-president corporate communications Errol Miller said C&WJ’s continued sponsorship of the High School Championships demonstrates his company’s commitment to youth and sports development in Jamaica.
“We are gratified to have the opportunity to make a major contribution to a sport that has done so much to put our country on the map,” he said. “And we are proud to be involved in unearthing and showcasing the talents of the next generation of athletes that will continue our proud tradition in track and field.”
The appearance by the 100m world record holder is one element of C&WJ’s activities in support of their associate sponsorship of the event, which will run from March 12 to 15 at the National Stadium in Kingston.
