This weekend in Majorca, the Princess Sophia Trophy was won by the sportswoman from Tenerife
\nThe Sando Fundaci\u00f3n has been sponsoring Alicia Cebri\u00e1n Mart\u00ednez de Lagos, the yachtswoman from Tenerife, in her Olympic bid. The sportswoman will attempt to classify in the Laser Radial category in order to compete in the London 2012 Olympic Games. <\/p>\n
This initiative came about as a result of Sando Fundaci\u00f3n\u2019s commitment to the company to collaborate in developing activities which can strengthen cultural and sporting values, especially in this case, where the yachtswoman, Alicia Cebri\u00e1n, is attempting to represent her country at the Olympics.<\/p>\n
The sportswoman from Tenerife started her bid towards classifying for the London games well, winning the latest national competitions in which she had taken part. At the end of March she took the Spanish Cup in the Radial Laser class in Tarragona after winning the top category, and this weekend she was awarded the Princess Sophia Trophy in Majorca.<\/p>\n
To achieve her Olympic place she still has to prove herself in key competitions over the next few months, such as the French Olympic Week in France, the Expert Olympic Garda in Italy, the World Championships in Germany and the Gold Sailor in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
This week, both Alicia Cebri\u00e1n as well as the Sando Fundaci\u00f3n, have received the backing of the Santa Cruz Mayor in Tenerife, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Berm\u00fadez, and the Sports, Youth and Education Councillor, M\u00f3nica Molina, who have lent their support to this initiative. <\/p>\n
The foundation hopes that the yachtswoman, Alicia Cebri\u00e1n, will be able to take part in the 2012 Olympic Games and champion the values of sportsmanship, perseverance, spirit and team work. <\/p>\n
The Sando Fundaci\u00f3n is a non-profit organization which promotes the policy of Corporate Social Responsibility throughout the group of companies which comprise Sando.<\/p>\n
