Waht's more, 3 bicycles will also be given through a raffle draw to be conducted at a gala musical show to be conducted on June 5. LG, whose products are brought to the Sri Lanka by Abans, was the main sponsor of the ICC Cricket World Cup held last year. LG will also be the main sponsor for the next World Cup to be held in 2007 as well as the Junior World Cup. It is encouraging to see that Abans is taking endeavours to sponsor sport events at the national level. During the Sinhala/Tamil New Year this year, the company for the first time arranged the Matara Avurudhu Ullela where a cycle race was successfully conducted with a large number of participants. The winners were rewarded with valuable prizes from the company. |
