As a local company, Sure is passionate about getting involved in and supporting island life and a big part of the company’s community activity is through sports sponsorships. Sure has sponsored the men’s and women’s teams of the Vagabonds rugby club for a number of years and, as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations this season, the company also supported a special commemorative kit in the style of the original playing strip to mark the special occasion. “Clubs like the Vagas are pivotal to the Isle of Man in terms of raising our sporting profile and this year is a particularly important year in the club’s history as the men’s team is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Supporting them is another way that Sure can do its bit to build the island’s sporting heritage and help give something back to islanders,” said Sarah Jarvis, PR and marketing manager at Sure. “Sponsorship has a hugely important role in local sport as it enables teams and individuals to achieve their full potential and concentrate on training and competing by providing the funding for vital equipment and kit and covering the costs of competing at sporting events. “As well as other benefits such as health and wellbeing and a sense of social belonging and camaraderie; supporting the Vagabonds Rugby Club really feels like giving something back to an entire community.” w.sure.com Vagabonds First XV and Vagabonds Women to © Mumbles Pics 2013 www.sure.com www.sure.com Photo © Mumbles Pics 2013 Photo © Mumbles Pics 2013 www.sportip.biz 9
