The Guyana Volleyball Federation (GVF) received a welcome boost on Tueaday when the Joseph `Reds’ Perriera Sports Foundation Inc. donated a cheque of over $200,000 to the GVF.
Receiving the cheque on behalf of the GVF was President John Flores who was pleased with the impetus given to the sport and expressed the view that he was satisfied overall with the direction the sport is heading and the momentum it appears to be developing.
According to Flores, who expressed gratitude to the foundation, he has always been aware of the contributions the foundation has been making to the development of sports and sporting organisations in Guyana over the years and was pleased that the GVF has now joined the long list of beneficiaries of the foundation’s generosity.
Outlining that the GVF is a federation on the rise, the president said 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 2015, which includes among other things, running off the premier league for the elite local clubs and the hosting of the annual Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers International tournament in October and November respectively.
Flores will head to Peru today to attend the South American Volleyball Federation Congress where he intends to further strengthen the relationship between GVF and CSV. Shortly after his return from congress, the senior National Men team heads to Brazil on September 26th for the Senior South American Indoor championship.
