Quito, Ecuador, June 19, 2018.–  Arca Continental, one of the top Coca-Cola bottlers in the world, in collaboration with Coca-Cola Ecuador, sponsored the 2018 Special Olympics held in Quito, Ecuador, from June 8-13.

This is the most important sports event of the year in Ecuador for people with disabilities. It promotes physical activation in 1,300 athletes as well as exercise and sports as a way to foster well-being.

“Arca Continental and Coca-Cola have become key strategic allies in the Special Olympics movement in our country,” explained Nicolás Cueva, Marketing and Communications Director for the Ecuador Special Olympics. “Their economic contribution is very helpful, but the contribution of the people in these companies who help make this an unforgettable experience for the athletes in the Special Olympics is even more relevant”.
