Tuff Gong was pleased to welcome Ziggy Marley and his family to Jamaica for the holidays. During their visit, Ziggy through his charitable foundation URGE (Unlimited Resources Giving Enlightenment) sponsored a holiday treat, distributed shoes, clothing and much needed school items to the children in the community of Nine Mile, St. Ann. In 2008 a multi court facility was built at the Nine Mile community playfield that was co-sponsored by URGE, the Sports Development Foundation and Golden Sands Foundation.
