THE Hima Makerere 10s rugby tournament due November 7-8 at Makerere Impis ground has been boosted with sh5m sponsorship from the Africa Air Rescue (AAR).

The package that will cover drugs, ambulance, first aid kit and other services was handed to main sponsors Hima Cement marketing coordinator Cerinah Zalwango by AAR publicist Stella Kanyike in Kampala on Monday.

“Safety of the players and the spectators comes first, and we are proud to partner with AAR in such an event,” Zalwango said.

On their part, Kanyike said: “The sponsorship is part of AAR’s initiative in promoting healthy sports. It will not only cover players but also the fans that get injured during the matches.”
