CHOOKS-to-Go, a staunch supporter of Philippine sports, is taking its advocacy to the next level by partnering with Special Olympics Pilipinas.
The company has been at the forefront of promoting sports, particularly in pro 3×3 play.
This time, it is taking a different approach by sending two of its employees to represent the Philippines in the 2023 Special Olympics World Games.
Learning and Development Senior Supervisor Jo-frhey Parcarey and Admin Supervisor Cristine Guimbaolibot will don the Philippines’ tri-colors and serve as Unified Partners in the 17-man delegation of Special Olympics Pilipinas.
They will train and support the special athletes who will compete in the June 17 to 25 tourney in Berlin, Germany.
The World Games will feature 7,000 Special Olympics athletes and Unified Partners from 170 countries, who will compete in 24 sports.
For Parcarey and Guimbaolibot, this will be a unique opportunity to showcase their skills and abilities in an international arena.
Chooks-to-Go has also provided livelihood for people with intellectual disabilities (PIDs).
According to Chooks-to-Go’s president Ronald Mascariñas, the importance of inclusivity in the organization is a big priority.
Opportunities for people beyond the age limit and no longer given the chance to make a decent living elsewhere are also given importance by Chooks-to-Go.
Chooks-to-Go’s partnership with Special Olympics Pilipinas is a testament to its commitment in promoting inclusivity in sports and beyond.
