Ritzbury has extended their support to the Sri Lanka Schools Athletic Association (SLSAA) as the main sponsor for the Sir John Tarbet School Junior Athletic Championships to be held at the public grounds in Anuradhapura on 15-19 September with over 6,000 participants expected this year.
“We are pleased to sponsor the prestigious Sir John Tarbet School Junior Athletic Championships once again as it is considered to be one of the oldest school’s athletic events in the country. Ritzbury has always been an ardent supporter of sports and the brand will promise to continue its association to sports in the future,” CBL Group General Manager – Marketing Theja Peiris said
“As a local conglomerate it gives us immense pleasure to be associated once again with this important sports event as the main sponsor, considering our corporate social responsibility to extend a helping hand for school athletics. Ritzbury, as the number one chocolate brand in Sri Lanka, will remain committed to support young talent throughout the country through various sports as well as other sponsorships,” said CBL Group Director/Head of Marketing and Sales Nandana Wickramage.
In 2014, Ritzbury launched their website, www.ritzburyjohntarbet.lk, in which the highlights and records of the previous meets have been communicated. The website will also feature the latest updates of the winners and results of the upcoming events.
Sharing his view on this prestigious sporting event, Sri Lanka Schools Athletic Association (SLSAA) President N.A.D.R.

Ritzbury has been supporting the Sir John Tarbet School Junior Athletic Championships for the past three years and we look forward to their never failing support in the year to come.”
