This year, they will continue their support of the Jamaica Inn Foundation’s annual Backgammon Tournament which is now in its 6th year.

The competition is scheduled to take place between June 2-4, 2023 at the Jamaica Inn, Ocho Rios, where approximately 50 competitors will be going head to head for a chance to win over JM$1 million in cash and prizes. As a gold sponsor of the tournament, Arosa will have their delicious products as a part of breakfast, lunch and general refreshments for the participants.
“At Arosa we are very aware of the social and environmental issues affecting our nation. One way in which we can contribute to this is to be a partner with a noble and far reaching enterprise such as this and we are committed to it. We are here not only as business partners, but the work being done is quite admirable in aid of sustaining the environment and we are happy to be a part of it,” shared Stewart Jacobs, General Manager, Arosa Limited.
An overview of this year’s activities, updates from the main beneficiary White River Sanctuary as well as their current and ongoing initiatives were highlighted at yesterday’s press conference.
