This event specifically aims as a connector so that families and schools can be connected to the same sports community. The event took place at the Padel Pro Satrio Club, Kuningan, Jakarta, Saturday, November 22. Packed interactively, the sporting event not only focuses on matches, but offers a variety of off-court experience with festival nuances.

Participation of Danamon in Battle of Schools: Parent Edition is a tangible form of our commitment to supporting strategic collaborative activities.

We are present through various excellent programs, one of which is the opening of Danamon More Pro Savings at the Danamon booth with attractive offers in the form of special design helmets. Danamon continues to strive to build mutually beneficial ecosystems through sustainable initiatives and synergies with customers," said Eka Dinata.

On the same occasion, SNAC Community Co-Founder Michael Luhukay added that this event presents an opportunity for the school community to connect in new ways that have never existed before.

We realize that padels naturally bring people closer. This event proves that parents are equally competitive, full of enthusiasm, and care about communities like their children. In addition, we assess that the concepts we present are still unique and different in Jakarta," said Michael Luhukay.
