THE Guyana Football Federation (GFF) yesterday received a sponsorship cheque from Camex Restaurants Inc. (CRI) through their Church’s Chicken brand as plans intensify for the third season of the Elite League.

This was in the form of a monetary donation presented by CRI’s Director of Finance, Christine Bennett-Blair, at the Camp and Middle Street location to Dion Inniss, Executive Committee Member of the GFF.
In receiving the cheque, Inniss expressed his gratitude for the sponsorship, who noted “Church’s Chicken has been a very reliable and dependable investor over the years and we are very pleased to have them on board again.

The business community has spoken about an economic downturn yet Church’s saw it fit to invest with the GFF. We are very thankful and look forward to a long-lasting partnership.”
Meanwhile, CRI Marketing Consultant, Deslyn Griffith said she was pleased to support football and the investment opportunity is one for the development of youth and community.

“Camex Restaurants Inc. under the umbrella of our premier brand, Church’s Chicken is pleased to be associated yet another year with the Elite League. We see both our franchise and the Elite League, under the leadership of the GFF, as being the leaders of our respective industries, hence our continued support,” Griffith said.

Griffith further noted that the Elite League is a tool that the GFF uses to further youth and community development, and as such, her entity saw it as an opportunity to lend their support.

Other persons present at the hand-over were GFF Marketing Director Dario McKlmon; CRI Director of Training & Brand Ambassador Dawn Braithwaite; CRI Director of Operations Dhara Cumberbatch and Church’s Chicken Crew Members Sarafina Semple-Grant and Trayann Atkinson.
