XO Multi-Sport aid Just Because Foundation

This year, the beneficiary of the fund-raiser was the Just Because Foundation (JBF) and a cheque for $16,500 was presented to Noel and Chevaugh Joseph by Derek Daniel, XO’s Club president. Inclusive of the money donated was a cheque from Solo Beverage Company for $1,500. But this was not all, courtesy Malabar Farms, XO also made a food donation which was gratefully accepted and will be used at the Foundation’s dinner for their children and parents.

The Just Because Foundation was selected by XO because of the outstanding work that the Foundation does in providing emotional, practical and social support for families of children with cancer. Co-founder Noel Joseph said, “The JBF is very grateful for this significant and timely contribution toward our childhood cancer support projects. The XO Multi-Sport Club is holistic in its approach to health and fitness so it’s like receiving a donation from a partner in wellness. We extend best wishes to the XO team in their future endeavours.”

XO Multi-Sport Club was formed in July 2014 and with a membership of almost 50 persons has done extremely well at local duathlon events as well as local and regional triathlon events. The club’s members actively participate and in the major events that the club has participated in to date, XO frequently boasts the largest number of participants from a club. The club is sponsored by Atlantic, Dannon, Great Grains, Dairy Dairy and Gatorade.
