Connection did more than just make its cycling debut as the title sponsor of the renowned Feltre’s 24 Hours. The company went a step further by fielding two teams: the Blue team, competing in the Charity category, and the White team. Their goal was to raise funds for the “Diamo Energia al Nostro Domani” (Powering Our Tomorrow) project.
The Blue team took second on the Charity leaderboard, completing 472 laps on Feltre’s “hellish loop.” This translated into a €4,720 donation, with the company contributing €10 for every single lap.
The Tutti in Battuta project
This initiative is a local commitment to support vulnerable members of our community through sports. The first project, called ‘Tutti in Battuta’ is dedicated to a small group of children with neurodevelopmental disorders cared for by ‘La Nostra Famiglia’. These childhood conditions can cause challenges with focus, communication, social interaction as well as learning.
The goal is to help these children experience and play sports – specifically volleyball – alongside their peers on the Pallavolo San Vendemiano teams, bringing therapy directly into the gym. Click here to learn more and support this great cause.
We also launched another charity initiative: having one of our team jerseys signed by the incredible champions at the event, which will be auctioned off in the coming weeks to raise additional funds. The jersey was autographed by Daniel Oss, Mattia Casse, Paolo Belli, event ambassador Francesca Lollobrigida, Elia Barp, Fabio Aru, Alessandro Ballan, Paolo Kessisoglu, Sonny Colbrelli, Michael Rogers, Paolo Bettini, Jeffrey Rosanelli, Peter Sagan, and Federico Pellegrino.
In short, it’s a must-have.
