Slot machine site helps Ontario Curling Team achieve their dream
November 7, 2005 (St Marys, Ontario, Canada) Slotland.com is pleased to announce that they have renewed their sponsorship of an Ontario curling team for a second year. Team Slotland.com, as the team has come to be known, will be competing this weekend in the St. Marys Cashspiel, an annual event organized by two Team Slotland players.
Were in the business of making dreams come true, said Hannah Morante of Slotland. These young men have dreams of making it to the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, and were happy to do what we can to help them achieve that goal.
Last season, funding from Slotland.com enabled the team to compete in more tournaments than they could afford to attend the year before, giving them the kind of experience they need to become serious Olympic contenders.
All the extra competition last year really helped us tune our game, said Gerry Geurts. Rob Lamont, our Second, sprained his wrist playing baseball just days before the curling season started this year, so we didnt start off that great. But weve been serious contenders our last few times out, and if we improve as much through this season as we did last year, Team Slotland could be the team to beat!
When hes not practicing or competing, Geurts is the webmaster behind CurlingZone.com, the official web site of the Ontario Curling Tour. And as if thats not enough to keep the young father busy, he and teammate Rob Lamont are also the event coordinators for the annual Cashspiel this weekend in St. Marys.
The curling community has given me a lot, says Guerts of all the contributions he makes. Its a lot of work, but I like to feel that Im giving something back.
The St Marys Cashspiel will be Team Slotland.coms fourth outing of the season. The annual event takes place November 10 to 13 at the St. Marys Curling Club. Team Slotland.com will be competing for a $7000 purse.
Team Slotland.coms scores, schedule, player profiles and more are available on their team page at CurlingZone.com: http://www.ontariocurlingtour.com/teams.php?teamid=16443.
Renowned for their award-winning customer service, and well known for having such large and frequently hit progressive jackpots, Slotland.com is also known as one of the more philanthropic companies in the gambling business. In addition to the curling team sponsorship, Slotland.com is also sponsoring amateur bowling tournaments in Vancouver and Winnipeg this fall. Perhaps its most generous sponsorship, however, is the school that they are building and giving to a small, impoverished village in Malawi. |
