SPORTS journalist and bodybuilding fanatic, Emmerson Campbell recently received financial support from the Guyana Committee of Service (GCS) to assist with his participation at the Sports World Classic 2017 Invitational in Trinidad and Tobago.
The organization which was founded last year to help secure sponsorship for local athletes to compete Regionally and Internationally is the brainchild of Leslie Black who said the organization is happy to assist Campbell and wishes him well.

According to Black, the entity was formed last year after Guyana’s lightweight professional boxing champion, Clive Atwell suffered severe head injuries during a boxing match at the Giftland Mall and had to seek overseas medical treatment and was in need of financial assistance.Hence, Black approached a number of business persons and got their support and thereafter, GCS was born.

Black noted that sponsorship is of paramount importance for athletes to succeed and the GCS will continue to assist.
He called on corporate Guyana to give back to sports since it can boost a nation tremendously.
