By Curtis Arnold, CardRatings.com Founder
Visa recently announced that, in addition to continuing its proud tradition of sponsoring the Paralympic Winter Games, it will be the Presenting Sponsor of the first Paralympic Hall of Fame (PHF). The PHF will be inaugurated at an Induction Ceremony on March 9th at the Armida Rowing Club in conjunction with the Torino 2006 Paralympic Winter Games.
Three inductees chosen by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the IPC Governing Board will be inducted as the first members of the Paralympic Hall of Fame. Inductees will be screened based on their athletic performance, history of fair play and participation in community service.
According to Sir Philip Craven, IPC President,
The Torino 2006 Paralympic Winter Games will be held in Torino, Italy, from March 10-19, and will feature approximately 1,300 participants representing around 40 National Paralympic Committees. Winter athletes will compete in four sports - Alpine Skiing, Ice Sledge Hockey, Nordic Skiing and Wheelchair Curling.
Visa is the exclusive payment card and official payment service for the Olympic and Paralympic Games through 2012. More information regarding the Paralympic Games and Visa's involvement in the Games can be found at VisaParalympics.com.
