SOLIDARY

After last year´s success, this time at Spring Games Sports meets Business but also Solidarity

In collaboration with Esport Solidari International, Spring Games will be collecting donations of sports apparel and equipment to send to African children, helping to provide children living in marginal situations with a positive outlet for energy and to encourage development through sport.

Esport Solidari International is a Barcelona-based sports foundation aiming to help children and teenagers living in poverty and marginality (mainly in Africa) through sports.

Their intervention is focused on:

  • donation of sports equipment and apparel;
  • construction and maintenance of sport facilities;
  • school scholarships;
  • financial aid to sport coaches who volunteer in marginal areas;

Sports offer universal means of teaching youth to build and respect relationships, to tolerate differences, to work in teams, to set and achieve goals, and to commit oneself to a common objective.

CALL TO ACTION!!! Please BRING TO SPRING GAMES and DONATE any used sports apparel and equipment. Bring your old sports clothes, football cleats or running shoes, or any old equipment you might be thinking of throwing out – Further information on the Solidary Cup we´ll be posted soon, so stay tuned!

Let Barcelona remember you…for your commitment to make these children smile!
