Port Moresby, 12 June 2025 – Demonstrating its continued commitment to youth empowerment and sports development in Papua New Guinea, JD Elevators PNG is proud to support three of the nation’s most promising junior tennis players — siblings Sugar Ray, Colita, and River-Jordan — as they prepare to compete in the 2025 PANAMEX Lae Tennis Open, taking place from June 13 to 16 in Lae, Morobe Province.

This sponsorship package includes tennis equipment, travel apparel, and branded caps, proudly worn by the young athletes as they represent both their country and the new face of JD Elevators PNG, following the company’s recent rebrand from Orbitz Elevators PNG

These three siblings have made waves both at home and on the international stage:

River-Jordan, just 11 years old, recently claimed the Under-14 Boys Singles title at the 2025 Extra Fiji Open.
Sugar Ray reached the semifinals in Fiji’s highly competitive Under-18 division and is currently ranked top five in Oceania.
Colita, also a standout performer, is the reigning Oceania 16U Champion, and a finalist at the SP Sports Awards 2025 in the Junior Female Athlete of the Year category.

JD Elevators PNG is proud to be associated with these young champions, whose dedication and achievements reflect the values of excellence and perseverance. The company sees this sponsorship as more than just brand exposure – it’s about uplifting young Papua New Guineans and giving them the platform to excel and inspire others.

“Supporting these outstanding young athletes is a reflection of our vision at JD Elevators PNG – to rise above and go beyond,” said Lawrence Lahari, Business Development Manager of JD Elevators PNG. “Their achievements on and off the court represent the bright future of Papua New Guinea. We are proud to be part of their journey.”

The PANAMEX Lae Tennis Open is expected to draw wide attention locally and regionally, creating a platform to celebrate youth talent and promote national pride through sport.

JD Elevators PNG wishes River-Jordan, Sugar Ray, and Colita all the very best as they take the court this weekend. We’re behind you all the way!
