Samsung values the important role families play in supporting athletes during the Olympic Games - a time that could be the most important moments of their lives. The Samsung Athletes Family Host 2000 provides an opportunity for athletes' relatives from all over the world to come to Sydney to share the excitement and passion of their loved ones' greatest moments at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Sydney families will provide free accommodation and breakfast for them for eight days during the Olympic Games. Samsung recognises that not all families are in a position to attend the Games to support their loved ones. By providing accommodation with host families, this program removes some of the financial burden often faced by families, and helps them to share a very special time.
Families can nominate themselves to be host families through local community organisations.
The Samsung Athletes Family Host 2000 program is all about sharing experiences and learning from each other. When matching guests and hosts, factors such as language, diet, culture and religion will be taken into consideration to ensure the most appropriate matches are made. Samsung Electronics Co.,Ltd.
