TAGUM CITY, Philippines — A multi-sport event that would gather more than a hundred sports enthusiasts and underprivileged kids in the Davao is slated to kick-off on Jan. 20-22, 2017 which will be held at the Davao del Norte Sports and Tourism Complex, this city.
The sporting cum fundraising event organized by Gabriel Symphony Foundation will be spearheaded by former senator now Taguig representative and sports enthusiast Pia S. Cayetano, according to the Provincial Information Office dispatch on Tuesday.
The activities include triathlon, football, swim and track events with the aim to make a difference in the lives especially of differently-abled and indigenous children.
“This event is for the benefit of the disadvantaged kids,” Cayetano said.
For his part, Governor Anthony del Rosario provided logistical and manpower assistance to the GSF aside from the free and exclusive use of the sports complex, among other incidental expenses.
“We are glad to provide Deputy Speaker Cayetano the needed assistance as we share the same passion and commitment for sports,” said del Rosario, who was former chair of the Committee on Youth and Sports Development at the House of Representatives.
An advocacy bike ride from Davao City to Tagum City, dubbed as ‘Bike for Hope’, will be among the culminating activities of the sport fundraising event on January 22.
Following a 50- kilometer route, the fun bike ride will start at 7 a.m from the SM Lanang parking lot in Davao City and will pass through Panabo City and Carmen town before entering Tagum City and wrapping up at the Davao del Norte State College. (davaotoday.com)
