Delivering on their promise, the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) in collaboration with Seon Bristol of Briso Promotions presented 65 hampers to boxers and officials during the weekend.
The hampers were obtained following donations from several companies and well wishers. The USA-based Bristol said that it is the first but not the last time that he will be providing assistance during the “difficult COVID-19 period.
“He added that there will be further dialogue with the GBA on if and when a similar exercise would be held.”
GBA president’s Steve Ninvalle explained that in such trying times it is only fitting that the association attempts to minimize the burden of its affiliates.
Ninvalle urged other associations to follow suit as there is urgent need for support of athletes and officials.
He added that hampers were delivered to the families of the four boxers stranded in Cuba. Hampers were distributed to boxers, referees, judges and coaches.
