The four autographed uniforms of the four semi-finalists of the Del Monte® Coppa Italia are officially up for auction, delivered to Save The Children who will be auctioned to support the Organization’s response to the earthquake emergency in Turkey and Syria.
The uniforms were donated by Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza, Itas Trentino, Sir Safety Susa Perugia and Allianz Milano to Save the Children, thanks to the collaboration of Lega Pallavolo Serie A and FIPAV. In fact, the League, the club and the Federation have joined Save the Children, the international organization that has been fighting for over 100 years to save the lives of girls and boys and guarantee them a future, to support aid for affected children and their families since the earthquake in Turkey and Syria last February.
The autographed official game uniforms were delivered in Rome to Filippo Ungaro, Save the Children Communications Director, before the kick-off of each Semifinal, giving rise to two different moments of solidarity and sensitivity, in front of the Palazzo dello Sport audience From Rome.
The autographed shirts will be up for auction until March 13 on the Charity Stars platform (https://www.charitystars.com/finalecoppaitalia).
The terrible earthquake that struck 23 million people caused thousands of deaths and injuries. It is estimated that in Turkey alone over 5,000 buildings have collapsed in ten cities, including schools, hospitals and government structures. Save the Children teams immediately took action to respond to the emergency. The situation is very complex especially in Syria where families were already deeply tried by 12 years of conflict and the consequent enormous economic difficulties. Many struggled to feed their children, keep them warm and be able to send them to school. Now children in the country are even more at risk. For this reason, the Organization immediately intervened on the field, in the two countries, in close contact with partner organizations, to support the affected communities, especially children, the most vulnerable in disasters such as these. In Turkey and Syria, Save the Children plans to reach a total of 1.6 million people, including 675,000 children, through its earthquake response. This includes 1.1 million people, including 550,000 children in Syria, and 500,000 people, including 125,000 children, in Turkey.
