Special Olympics 2003:
Deutsche Bank (Cayman) Limited sponsored the Cayman Island Special Olympics Team in the 2003 World Summer Games which were held in Dublin, Ireland. The Special Olympic World Games are held every four years and allow athletes with learning disabilities to take the spotlight. 2003 was the first year that the SO competition was held outside the United States and the Cayman Islands team joined approximately 7,500 athletes from more than 160 countries.

"It's a partnership that reflects our philosophy of focus and commitment", said Tim Godber, Executive Director at Deutsche's Cayman office. "For the past 19 years Deutsche Bank has maintained a community based presence in Cayman by participating in sponsorship and this pledge represents our utmost commitment. Working together with the Special Olympics we will continue to explore opportunities to recognise our deserving athletes and reward their efforts."

The SOCI team returned home victorious with a total of 17 medals. For a full report of the team's achievements, please see the news archive 01 July 2003.
