Beach volleyball, football and music
From 5.00 pm onwards to the open day organized by the Polisportiva Gropparello which will culminate with a nice football match between parents and children. The program is full of events and after the open day an Under 15 youth football match will be played. The final act of the Memorial will also be the opportunity to announce the new corporate structure of the Polisportiva which for a few days has Sandro as its new president Pezzani. Once the presentation is over, there is space for women’s football and the traditional match which sees Chicco Maggi’s lifelong friends take to the field.
donations for Lilt Piacenza and cancer research
The event was framed by smoking grills, music and the desire of an entire community to celebrate the figure of Maggi. At 10.00 pm the final of the Tournament of Municipalities will be played between the home team and the favorite Piacenza centro. The one who will surely win, however, will be solidarity: the auction of t-shirts in favor of will remain open throughout the day Lilt Piacenza for cancer research. “We will donate the proceeds from the registrations and the auction to Lilt – confirms the president of Promis Gruparel Marco Maggi -. We are very keen to offer our small contribution through an event dedicated to those who unfortunately left us too soon. It’s a way to keep him here with us and continue to talk about life.”
