Zirh Joins the CJGA Team

MARKHAM, ON (May 7, 2008) – The Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) is pleased to announce the addition of Zirh to its growing list of CJGA sponsors.  The two-year partnership will involve a significant national sampling campaign at CJGA events as well as a special Father’s Day Father/Child competition that will run simultaneously at three events on the CJGA Junior Tour and CJGA Junior Linkster Tour. 

For 12 years, Zirh has produced high quality shaving and skincare products for men that include cleansers, moisturizers, and various shaving products.  CJGA members will have an opportunity to enjoy these products at select events across Canada on the CJGA Junior Tour as giveaways will be handed out at registration.

“We are very excited to be associated with the CJGA,” said Neil Putnam, Vice President, Quadrant Cosmetics Group.  “The CJGA is an integral part of junior golf development in Canada and Zirh Skin Care/Quadrant Cosmetics is proud to partner with this exciting opportunity.”

“The addition of Zirh to our sponsor team will provide CJGA participants with valuable giveaways while the Father’s Day events will be a unique addition to our national schedule,” said Earl Fritz, Executive Director of the CJGA.  “Zirh is committed to growing the game of golf in this country and the CJGA is grateful for its support.”

The CJGA will conduct three events on Father’s Day in June where Zirh will assume the role of presenting sponsor. Participants in these CJGA sanctioned events will have an opportunity to play a round of golf with their dad on Sunday, April 15th.  In addition to golf, Zirh will supply a luxurious Father’s Day Gift Pack to the lucky parent in attendance.
