Coca-Cola GB has unveiled the London 2012 Olympic bronze medallist, Anthony Ogogo, as a new legacy ambassador for its partnership with StreetGames.
In his role Anthony will visit StreetGames projects around the country helping to inspire the young people taking part and encourage more to get involved.
Ogogo said: ‘As the new Legacy Ambassador for Coca-Cola GB and StreetGames I hope I can inspire young people everywhere to get involved in their local StreetGames project and, like I did, make sport their route to success.’
Ogogo added: ‘With the opportunities that StreetGames and Coca-Cola GB offer to young people, like free sports sessions and the chance to take coaching qualifications, this partnership not only offers young people a way to stay fit and healthy but also opportunities to build a positive future for themselves and their communities that just aren’t on offer to them elsewhere.’
Jon Woods, general manager Coca-Cola GB and Ireland, said: ‘As an Olympic medal winning boxer, talented football player and budding high diver, Anthony is the perfect all-rounder to help inspire the young people we reach through our StreetGames partnerships. We’re greatly looking forward to having him on board.’
Earlier this month Coca-Cola GB announced the three-year renewal of its partnership with StreetGames, until 2015, as part of its campaign to help more people to be more active, more often.
