A Kilkenny company has teamed up with a local school to help two teams as they prepare to step on to the global stage.
Campion Insurance has been announced as kit sponsor for Presentation Secondary School Kilkenny’s under-16 and under-19 basketball teams as they prepare to represent their school and Kilkenny at the World School Basketball Championships in Valencia, Spain, this November.
The sponsorship continues Campion Insurance’s commitment to supporting local communities and initiatives, particularly those that provide opportunities for young people to develop, achieve, and reach their potential. The company is proud to support the Presentation Kilkenny teams as they prepare to represent both their school and Kilkenny on the international stage.
The competition brings together school basketball teams from around the world, giving young players the opportunity to compete at the highest level while representing their schools and communities on the international stage.
“We are delighted to support the under-16 and under-19 basketball teams from Presentation Kilkenny as they prepare for the World School Basketball Championships in Valencia,” said Jim Campion, CEO of Campion Insurance, speaking at the presentation of the jerseys.
