SURE RESPONSE REGARDING SWIMARATHON SPONSORSHIP
After six years of support, Sure has agreed
that it is the right time for a new sponsor to take over the
Swimarathon.
“It has been an honour and a pleasure to be
involved with such a long-standing and popular community event
which has raised so much money for so many local people, charities
and organisations,” said Sure’s Head of PR Steve Smith.
“Each year, as other companies do, Sure
evaluates all its sponsorships and we have recently introduced a
sponsorship criteria to ensure our support of the community is
carefully considered. As islanders will know, Sure has invested
thousands and thousands of pounds into the local community from
sponsoring it’s own staff in events right up to large commitments
such as Sure Skate.
“We’re sure that the Swimarathon will find
another sponsor extremely quickly and one which can bring a new
level of energy and enthusiasm and support to the organising
committee as they look to grow the event and raise even more money.
We wish them every success and will of course continue to support
it by entering teams of staff as we have done every year.”
