In a massive step towards ensuring the safety of players and personnel in not only the upcoming ExxonMobil Under-14 Boys’ and Girls’ Football competition, but all their future competitions for 2025, the Petra Organisation on Tuesday unveiled Demerara Mutual Fire, Life and General Insurance as a sponsor.
A component of their intended child safeguarding efforts, Demerara Mutual will provide coverage for players and Petra Organisation staff during the tournaments.
This was revealed during a simple ceremony at the company’s Avenue of the Republic headquarters, where Sales and Marketing Coordinator Oceola Van Doimen gave more insight into the company’s sponsorship.
“While this marks our first time as sponsors of this prestigious tournament, we couldn’t be more excited to support youth football in our community. We have watched this tournament grow over the years and are thrilled that our company can now be part of this continued success through our partnership with Petra on what we consider a brighter community building initiative,” Van Doimen remarked.
She went on to clarify, “As an Insurance company, the Demerara Mutual Life group believes in protecting what matters most. That’s why we’re proud to provide group personal accident coverage for all tournament participants, giving players, parents and coaches peace of mind so everyone can focus on enjoying the beautiful game.”
On the other hand, Petra Organisation Co-Director Troy Mendonca spoke to the value of Demerara Mutual’s support.
