BTC was again the title sponsor of the “Urban Love Games” and the annual event lived up to its promise of being fun and exciting for all at Thomas A Robinson National Stadium Saturday morning.

Teams from all nine Urban Renewal Centres in New Providence took part in the event, which included a number of relays, including pastors vs. pastors, armed forces and MP (Member of Parliament) relays.

relays Wilton Russell, director of sports for the Urban Renewal Commission, noted: “This is our second year putting on this event and we are certainly proud that BTC has again agreed to support us. The Urban Love Games provides a positive outlet for the young and young at heart. We expect participation from just over 3,000 athletes at the event.”

Leon Williams, chief executive officer of BTC, said: “BTC remains committed to its support of wholesome youth and sports initiatives. The year is off to a great start.

“Already, we’ve title sponsored the BAISS games, we are the official telecommunications partner for FIFA, and the CARIFTA games will take place in the coming weeks. We are again happy to lend our support to the Urban Love Games and we wish the organisers and the participants all the best.”

BTC has been a patron of urban renewal for several years now. The company has adopted the “Mother Pratt Park,” which is branded and maintained by BTC.

BTC also continues to support the Urban Renewal Basketball League and Smokey’s Karate School, which are folded into the Urban Renewal Programme.

In 2012, BTC provided over $20,000 in band equipment for the establishment of the Urban Renewal Marching Band.
