Uganda Breweries Limited (UBL), though their brand Johnnie Walker, has announced a sponsorship package of UGX 150 million to the Rotary’s 98th District Conference, slated for 27th to 29th April 2023 in Mbarara.
Speaking at the event to announce the partnership, Emmy Hashakimana, the marketing and Innovations Director Uganda Breweries Limited spoke of the synergies between the two organisations, Uganda Breweries and Rotary, as the motivation for the sponsorship stating that Rotarians are known for their selfless volunteering the world over, contributing to various causes like water and sanitation, vaccination, the environment, among others, areas which UBL has also exhibited stewardship through the years.
“Our decision to facilitate this conference was a challenge to consider service above self that Rotary embodies. We believe that a successful conference facilitating a meeting of great minds will continue to further the great work that Rotary does in communities here in Uganda and around the world.” Hashakimana said.
“At UBL, we believe that success comes from partnerships and collaboration, and we are proud to be partnering with the Rotary community,” he added.
The Governor Rotary District 9214, Peace Taremwa applauded UBL for the support, saying it will go a long way in ensuring the success of the event. He explained that during District Conferences, Rotarians celebrate and evaluate achievements within the Rotary Year.
“We shall be evaluating our achievements in the Rotary Year that began in July 2022 and will be ending in June 2023. There will be medical camps and other charity activities,” said Taremwa.
