Seymour Club have been named as naming rights sponsors of the upcoming Seymour Gift.
Backed by the Victorian Athletic League (VAL) and the Seymour Running Club (SRC), the event will see athletes from across the region participate in the meet at Kings Park on December 14, after a two-decade long hiatus.
SRC President Blair Collins thanked the Seymour Club for its support of the Seymour Gift and the board’s passionate backing of the event.
“The Seymour Gift would’ve still been a dream without the generous backing of the Seymour Club,” he said.
“They’ve thrown their full support behind the Gift and have allowed us to focus our energy on running a top-class event that we hope is here for many years to come.
“With the financial certainty provided by the Seymour Club, we’ve been able to approach other local businesses, many of whom have also provided great support for the Gift.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the Seymour Club’s support and that of other businesses and organisations across our community.”
Seymour Club President Regina Schaefer said the Board was only too happy to get behind the Seymour Gift.
“The Seymour Running Club have got a fantastic group of community-minded individuals on board to run the Gift this December,” she said.
“They came to us with a clear proposal and vision for the Seymour Gift as an annual event which our board was delighted to support.
“This event will provide a huge boost for the town, bringing some of the top athletes from across the state to Seymour for a jam-packed athletics meet.
“We’re looking forward to December 14 and are proud to be naming rights sponsors of the Seymour Gift.”
