The Bermuda Olympic Association welcomed Butterfield & Vallis as sponsors of Team Bermuda heading to the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games.
A spokesperson said, “A supporter of many events and organizations in Bermuda, Butterfield & Vallis will support the BOA financially and with Team Bermuda branding on their commercial vehicles.”
BOA President Peter Dunne welcomed this support at a brief ceremony held at the BCV headquarters. “We are extremely grateful for the company joining with the BOA to help with the journey of Bermuda’s athletes as they prepare for the Paris Olympics.
“The financial contribution will have a meaningful impact on the athletes and, speaking on their behalf, I am confident in their gratefulness. We are equally excited that the company will be carrying the Team Bermuda logo on their vehicles which will serve as a reminder to the community that the journey of these amazing athletes starts here in Bermuda and is dependent on public support.”
A spokesperson for Butterfield & Vallis remarked, “Butterfield & Vallis is extremely proud to announce its partnership with the Bermuda Olympic Association. All our vehicles will be carrying the logo of the BOA to demonstrate our support for the organization and its athletes proudly. We hope our sponsorship will help propel the BOA’s fundraising efforts forward with more community partners.
“This critical sponsorship will help allow our athletes to focus their efforts solely on training in order to perform at their absolute peak, knowing that the Bermuda community is behind them and helping support them all the way through the 2024 Paris Olympics and the numerous other sporting events that the BOA is involved with.
“The Olympics are very close to the heart of the Butterfield family with both Jim Butterfield (Munich 1972) and Tyler Butterfield (Athens 2004 and London 2012) having represented Bermuda on the world’s biggest stage. As such the company recognizes the years of effort, struggle and sacrifice that goes into qualifying to represent Bermuda. While the Olympics are but a 2-week celebration of this effort, Butterfield & Vallis wants its athletes to know that we are here to help support them through all the hard work that they are committing to achieve their ultimate goals.
“The Olympic ideals of Excellence, Respect and Friendship are also closely held by Butterfield & Vallis in our interactions with staff, customers and our many suppliers. The commitment and focus required to become a world-class athlete speak to Butterfield & Vallis and we celebrate the opportunity to provide support to this generation and future generations of Bermuda’s best!”
