Everyone can participate by registering online at http://www.noveonlus.org/giocaabocce/ by Sunday 27 November and contribute with a minimum donation of € 45, reduced to € 20 for the under-30. #GivingTuesday, celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, is a day of reflection that invites everyone - citizens, non-profit organizations and businesses- to rethink solidarity and to participate actively in order to give new strength and vigor to the donation.
It uses the power of social media and generosity to promote donations and philanthropic activities across the world. On this special day Nove Onlus and FIB join forces to share a important project, donate and invite everyone to do the same. The Italian Bocce Federation is recognized by the Italian Ministry of Internal Affairs as a body with charitable purposes throughout sport and promotion social and cultural activities. In the past the Federation had carried out support for leisure and sport activities with the Pediatric Hospital Bambin Gesù in Rome.
The Federation also offers a unique opportunity to share universal values such as solidarity and social inclusion, combined with a real recognition of the difficulties of others through initiatives related to the school in the territories of the difficult social environment and sports activities for the disabled.
Nove Onlus is a non-profit organization that since 2012 engages in humanitarian aid, education and socio-economic development in Italy, Greece, Ethiopia and Afghanistan. It made the choice to work in Italy in order to support those disadvantaged families that attempt to stay afloat without losing their dignity.
