Hamilton, Bermuda, August 5th, 2013: Today Mr. David Rose, CEO of RUBiS Energy Bermuda, made
the following announcement.


Mr. Rose said, “RUBiS Energy Bermuda was both proud and pleased to be in the position to assist
WindReach by sponsoring their 4th Annual Archery Competition Day, which saw over 50 individuals, both
with and without special needs compete. At the Archery Competition we also donated a specialised
sports wheelchair, valued at over $3,000.00. These specialist wheel chairs are of vital assistance
because regular wheelchairs are unstable and unsafe for the many sports that are provided at
WindReach.”

 Ms. Erica Fulton, Executive Director of WindReach said: “We are extremely grateful to RUBiS for
sponsoring our Annual Archery Competition and for donating the sports wheelchair. WindReach uses the
chairs on Saturdays when we host our wheelchair basketball games as part of our Adaptive Sports
Programme, and the extra chair will enable more able-bodied friends and family to participate in our
basketball programme alongside those with special needs. This donation will increase the number of
wheelchairs WindReach has to 9.”


Mr. Jermaine Simons, Sales Manager at RUBiS, finished by saying: “It is not common to find programmes
that enable persons with disabilities and seniors to become active and enjoy sports activities. The
WindReach Adaptive Sports Programme provides unique opportunities for these individuals to build their
confidence and self-esteem. Tools, such as the sports wheelchair, are an integral part to removing
limitations of one’s ability. At RUBiS, we are proud to support WindReach as they seek to enrich the
quality of life for individuals with special needs.”
