OPA! of Greece has entered into a partnership with Swim Alberta, becoming the organization’s championship sponsor as the restaurant chain expands its support of community initiatives across the province.
The partnership will support Swim Alberta’s efforts to develop the sport, recognize athletic achievement and create opportunities for swimmers of different ages and abilities, the organizations announced recently.
Partnership to support athlete development
Simran Singh, CEO of OPA! of Greece, said the agreement reflects the company’s interest in supporting athletes and community organizations across Alberta.
“We are excited to support Swim Alberta and the next generation of athletes across Alberta,” said Singh. “Sport has an incredible ability to bring people together, build confidence and create lasting connections. We are proud to play a part in supporting the athletes and the people that make swimming such an important part of our province.”
Swim Alberta said the corporate sponsorship will create opportunities to strengthen its programming and continue supporting athletes throughout their swimming development.
The partnership also brings together two organizations that say they share an interest in community engagement and creating opportunities for people across the province. The announcement recognizes the contributions of athletes, coaches, families and volunteers to Alberta’s swimming community.
Shawn Holman, executive director of Swim Alberta, said the sponsorship will help advance the organization’s Pathway to 2032, which focuses on providing opportunities for swimmers to develop, compete and reach their potential.
“We’re thrilled to welcome OPA! of Greece to the Swim Alberta family. Our Pathway to 2032 is about creating opportunities for swimmers to develop, compete and reach their potential, and partnerships like this help bring that vision to life,” said Holman. “We’re always excited when a corporate partner wants to make a splash in our sport, especially when that investment helps us deliver where it counts — on the deck and in the water. We look forward to celebrating our athletes and strengthening connections across Alberta’s swimming community with OPA!.”
Community investment
OPA! of Greece said the sponsorship is part of its broader commitment to supporting local organizations and community initiatives across Canada.
The company said it looks forward to recognizing the achievements of Alberta’s swimming community and supporting athletes throughout the season.
The announcement did not disclose the financial value or duration of the sponsorship.
