The Chairman of SAI, Huang Tsung-jong and the company together sponsored NT$400,000 to the Girls Basketball Team of Liren Elementary School in Huwei, Yunlin, for their training and management funds next year.
Qiu Hui-li, the principal of Huwei Liren Elementary School, said “In the past 15 years, the “Huwei Liren Elementary School Basketball Team” has represented Yunlin County to win the national championship many times. We are also one of the pushers of local basketball sports. But the expense of participating in competitions and off-site training is quite high. The annual expenditure, not including equipment, accommodation, transportation, etc., can easily exceed NT$100,000 to more than one million.”
Thanks to Chairman Huang and the Foundation for sponsoring the school team. Every student and teacher are extremely grateful. The funds have been invested in the women’s basketball jerseys and the Kaohsiung Cup competition. The team is also planning for the national competition in the next semester and the off-site training before the competition.
