NAGICO Insurances continued to show support for young athletes by making a donation to the St. Maarten Soccer Educational Foundation recently. The young athletes were seeking funds to travel to Florida to participate in the Disney Wide World Memorial Tournament.
The tournament, scheduled to start on May 21st will feature 48 players from the St. Maarten Soccer Educational Foundation, who will participate in the under (9) nine and under (10) ten competitions.
Anne Marie Scot, head of the fundraising committee was on hand to accept the check and several NAGICO promotional items, which were also donated. Mrs. Scot stated, "NAGICO is a big sponsor of the community, and we appreciate the assistance very much. The support that has been shown to us has been overwhelming." Mrs. Scot and the fundraising committee have not only approached businesses to request assistance but have also held car washes, bake sales and flee markets so that the children could raise funds for the tournament. "This is a great opportunity for the kids to be able to compete on an international stage." Mrs. Scot added.
