Racers Track Club hosts silent auction
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Racers Track Club on Sunday launched its build up to the inaugural Racers Grand Prix with a silent auction at the Jamaica Pegasus in Kingston.
The glitzy fund-raising ceremony, held in association with Jamaica National Building Society (JNBS), was aimed at celebrating the performances of the club’s athletes while sharing the club’ vision to be number one in the world.
Head coach Glen Mills, Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake and other members of the club were among those present.
The reception featured a display of sports memorabilia, Olympic and World Championship medals and photographs, in honour of the track club.
The items up for grabs last night included running spikes, Puma T-shirt, track suit autographed by Bolt, Blake, Kemar Bailey-Cole, Warren Weir, and Michael Frater.
The Racers Grand Prix is scheduled for June 11 at the National Stadium.
