Guardian Life has en­tered a three-year part­ner­ship with the Caribbean Pre­mier League (CPL). The part­ner­ship will see Guardian Life con­tin­ue to en­gage the wider com­mu­ni­ty with the CPL with their Guardian Life CPL Crick­e­teers and Bound­ary Bud­dies pro­grammes.

As part of this part­ner­ship Guardian Life will be giv­ing away 2000 tick­ets to CPL match­es to lo­cal schools in an ef­fort to pro­mote crick­et to the young peo­ple across the re­gion. This Guardian Life Bound­ary Bud­dies School CPL Tick­et Give­away will take place at all CPL venues.

Guardian Life will al­so con­tin­ue to run its Guardian Life CPL Crick­e­teers vol­un­teer scheme that sees hun­dreds of peo­ple work with the CPL to make the tour­na­ment the suc­cess it has be­come. These vol­un­teers are an in­te­gral part of the CPL, and the tour­na­ment would not be the same with­out them.

Dr Tara Wilk­son-Mc­Clean, Re­pub­lic Bank CPL’s spon­sor­ship man­ag­er, said: “Over the years Guardian Life has shown out­stand­ing com­mit­ment to mak­ing crick­et and the CPL a pos­i­tive ex­pe­ri­ence for our com­mu­ni­ties. We are de­light­ed to wel­come them back for the next three years and look for­ward to wel­com­ing their amaz­ing vol­un­teers and thou­sands of young peo­ple to CPL match­es.”

Anand Pas­cal, Pres­i­dent - Guardian Life of the Caribbean, said: "I am proud to reaf­firm our ded­i­ca­tion to the de­vel­op­ment of youth in the Caribbean re­gion. We be­lieve that in­vest­ing in the younger gen­er­a­tion is one of the key el­e­ments in shap­ing a brighter fu­ture. By dis­trib­ut­ing tick­ets to this year's CPL games to pri­ma­ry and sec­ondary schools across the re­gion, we aim to pro­vide stu­dents with the op­por­tu­ni­ty to ex­pe­ri­ence the pow­er of sport and un­der­stand the valu­able bal­ance be­tween ath­let­ics and aca­d­e­mics. We be­lieve that this ini­tia­tive will con­tin­ue to in­spire these bright minds and hope­ful­ly pave the way for their per­son­al growth and suc­cess. At Guardian Life, we are com­mit­ted to nur­tur­ing the po­ten­tial of Caribbean youth and fos­ter­ing a gen­er­a­tion of well-round­ed lead­ers."
