Tan Holdings will be holding the 40th Anniversary Sports Festival that will commence this month and continue until the end of November. The games will be held in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the company doing business in the region.
The festival will feature six sports: bike race, baseball, soccer, bowling, badminton, and basketball.
Festival tournaments for these six sports will be held at different dates throughout the next few months with the bike race kicking off the competitions first on Aug. 26. Tan Holdings will give $500 cash and $500 worth of sports equipment to each of the six sports organizations, while winners in the various tournaments will receive gift certificates for sports equipment ranging from $200 to $500.
