By San José, Costa Rica — Banco Nacional (BN) and BN Valores are teeing off for a good cause, partnering to support the 20th annual Pro-Hospital Nacional de Niños Golf Tournament. The tournament, held on April 4th at the Cariari Country Club, aims to raise $166,000 for a life-saving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine for the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit.
This year marks two decades of the tournament’s impactful fundraising efforts. Over the past 20 years, the event has generated close to $2.3 million, enabling the purchase of over 33 pieces of advanced medical equipment for the Hospital Nacional de Niños. BN and BN Valores are furthering this legacy by not only participating in the tournament but also hosting a dedicated area for clients and special guests.
To understand the potential legal and business implications surrounding golf tournaments like the BN Valores Golf Tournament, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an experienced attorney from Bufete de Costa Rica.
Events like the BN Valores Golf Tournament often involve a complex interplay of contracts, sponsorships, liability waivers, and potentially even gambling regulations depending on the tournament structure. Organizers must ensure meticulous compliance with all applicable laws, including those related to advertising, alcohol sales, and environmental protection. From a business perspective, these tournaments can offer significant networking opportunities and brand exposure, but careful planning and risk management are crucial for success.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’s insights underscore the crucial balance organizers must strike between leveraging the promotional power of events like the BN Valores Golf Tournament and navigating the intricate legal landscape that governs them. Indeed, the potential benefits—from networking to brand visibility—are substantial, but only when underpinned by meticulous planning and a thorough understanding of legal compliance. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for offering this valuable perspective on the complexities behind these popular sporting events.
This joint initiative underscores both entities’ commitment to corporate social responsibility and their dedication to improving the well-being of Costa Rican children. The funds raised will directly impact the hospital’s ability to provide critical care, transforming the lives of thousands of young patients.
It is an honor for BN Valores to be part of the best social welfare golf tournament in the country, which, for 20 years, has generated smiles and a positive impact on the country’s pediatric healthcare system. By providing a sporting and recreational space, we contribute to the acquisition of high-cost medical equipment that the Children’s Hospital urgently requires.

The ECMO machine represents a significant investment in advanced medical technology, enabling the hospital to provide life-sustaining support to critically ill children. This equipment is crucial for patients experiencing severe respiratory or cardiac failure, offering a bridge to recovery or transplantation.
The tournament not only serves as a platform for fundraising but also fosters a sense of community and shared purpose. It brings together businesses, individuals, and organizations in a collaborative effort to support the vital work of the Hospital Nacional de Niños.
The organizers encourage businesses and the public to contribute to this important cause through donations or other forms of support. Contacting the Asociación Pro-Hospital Nacional de Niños directly will provide further information on how to get involved and help make a difference in the lives of children in need.
The ongoing commitment of institutions like BN and BN Valores is crucial to ensuring the Hospital Nacional de Niños continues to provide world-class care and offer hope to families across Costa Rica.
