Sir John praises Trukai for continued support

Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee (PNGOC) president Sir John Dawanicura has praised Trukai Industries for their continued support for sports in the country.
Sir John said last week that Trukai had been supporting teams and associations, including the PNG Weightlifting Federation and the PNGOC.
Their involvement with the PNGOC is further strengthened through the annual Trukai Fun Run which raises funds for Team PNG.
Trukai Industries general manager, sales and marketing, Andrew Daubney presented a cheque for K50,000 from the Trukai Fun Run to the PNGOC.
The money will go towards supporting Team PNG’s participation at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in Australia this month.
“Our commitment to sports is part of the company’s extensive corporate social responsibility programme in which we are able to give back to the community through our PNG athletes,” he said.
“Ensuring that PNG is represented on the world stage and that athletes perform at their very best, it is an honour to be part of a great team.”
Sir John acknowledged Trukai for its support through the Fun Run over the last 19 years.
“Trukai’s support has enabled Team PNG athletes to travel and excel in their respective sports for the country, and we are grateful to them,” Sir John said.
