Chief Executive Officer Dries la Grange announced BESTmed’s commitment to South African sport: "We are proud to support 50 and 100m free and fly and 50m back stroker, Chanelle van Wyk, [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][and] we are also proud to support the 100 and 200m sprinter Geraldine Pillay … from the University of Pretoria’s athletics club, TuksSport."
These sponsorships are geared towards supporting the athletes two fold – to train professionally full-time, and to ensure that all their healthcare needs are met, La Grange saying that, as a corporate sponsor of Swimming South Africa, BESTmed has been applauded by the national federation for its participation in developing and supporting sports.
"As South Africans we have a heritage of producing world-class athletes, and it is our role as a business to support the talent that we have. This is a wonderful opportunity to give back to the community that we do business in.
"The Olympic Games in Beijing will be extremely competitive, and we want our athletes to perform at their best. Our contribution is there to encourage them to support the country’s vision of becoming a nation of winners," says La Grange.
