Blood donating action with futsal league
Performance
December 15, 2024

Give yourself a gift this Christmas and save a life

Each of us can become a hero and save someone’s life. It’s very simple, it only requires dedicating a few minutes of your time and a little bit of blood. Nothing more. Representatives of FOGO Futsal Ekstraklasa and bookmaker Superbet know this very well, and from December 16-19, they will be supporting a blood donation campaign at the RCKiK branches in Łódź and Katowice.

“Any of us could find ourselves in a situation where either we or someone close to us needs blood to continue living. When we think about it this way, it’s easier to find the motivation to visit the Blood Donation Center. We, as Superbet, are well aware of the importance of promoting health initiatives, which is why we gladly accepted FOGO Futsal Ekstraklasa’s invitation to support blood donors. This is the first such large-scale social campaign in cooperation with the country’s top futsal league, but I can already reveal that it will certainly not be the last,” says Łukasz Seweryniak, General Manager of Superbet Poland.

Although the mere possibility of saving a life should be enough of an incentive to donate blood, the heads of FOGO Futsal Ekstraklasa and Superbet assure that everyone who visits the regional branches in Łódź and Katowice from December 16-19 will be greeted with surprises. “December is undoubtedly a time for gifts, and we have prepared a small one for blood donors as well,” says Seweryniak.

However, the campaign is not limited to giving gifts to donors. Throughout the week, FOGO Futsal Ekstraklasa and the clubs will conduct an informational campaign on their social media, promoting blood donation.

“Futsal is not only about sport and competition at the highest level, but also about responsibility for our surroundings and supporting important social initiatives. The blood donation campaign, which we are carrying out together with Superbet, is an expression of our community’s solidarity with those in need. Blood is a gift that cannot be manufactured, which is why every drop counts. The campaign is also accompanied by a week of knowledge, during which we present facts and dispel myths related to blood donation. We believe that education will help break down barriers and encourage even more people to participate,” comments Paweł Mrozkowiak, president of FOGO Futsal Ekstraklasa.

“We are proud to support such an important social initiative. We hope that our involvement will translate into attendance at blood donation centers and that together we will be able to save someone’s life. We couldn’t dream of a better Christmas gift,” concludes the General Manager of Superbet Poland.

Incredible Success of an 18-Year-Old chess player from India

India’s representative, Gukesh Dommaraju, has become the eighteenth world chess champion. The youngest world champion in the history of the royal game competed in a tournament in Warsaw in May. “I really like it here and would love to come back,” he said after the Superbet Rapid & Blitz 2024 competition.

The World Championship match took place in Singapore, and for the first time in history, two Asian chess players competed for the title without a European representative. The 18-year-old Indian defeated the defending champion, China’s Ding Liren, in the 14th round, winning 7.5:6.5. Thus, he became the youngest world chess champion in history.

At the press conference after the final round, the new world champion was visibly moved. “When Magnus Carlsen won the world title in 2013, I thought I wanted to be the chess player who would bring this title back to India. I am very happy,” he said.

It is worth noting that Gukesh Dommaraju’s coach is Polish grandmaster Grzegorz Gajewski, who previously worked with former world champion Viswanathan Anand. During the press conference in Singapore, the new champion also thanked his other coaches and sparring partners, including Polish chess players Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Radosław Wojtaszek, and Jan Klimkowski.

Gukesh is another outstanding chess player from Chennai, formerly known as Madras, the same city where Anand, the most famous Indian chess player to date, grew up. This city is probably the most chess-centric in the world, with over thirty grandmasters hailing from there. The new world champion’s father is a surgeon, and his mother is a virologist. Years ago, they sold a large part of their property to support their son’s chess career. Gukesh first sat at the chessboard at the age of seven. It took him eleven years to reach the top, but he also had many successes along the way – in 2018, he became the world champion under 12, and in 2020 under 14. He has been a grandmaster since 2019, becoming the second youngest grandmaster in chess history at that time.

Will Gukesh meet Polish fans in Warsaw? It cannot be ruled out, as he was enchanted by Poland and the organization of the tournament after the last event, as emphasized by his coach. “The Superbet Rapid & Blitz tournament is an excellent promotion of chess in Poland. It’s great that such excellent players can play here. I’m glad we were here, especially since I noticed that Gukesh is handling the growing interest in him and everything happening around him better and better,” said Gajewski. “Of course, he has talent, but everyone at this level does. He is very ambitious, hardworking, and focused on his goal. When you are seventeen or eighteen, it is not easy at all. He just wants to be the best,” added the coach.

It is already known that the world’s top chess players will come to Warsaw in 2025 as well. Next year’s edition of the Superbet Rapid & Blitz Warsaw 2025 is scheduled for April 26-30, and the top grandmasters will once again compete at the Polin Center. The full lineup will be announced in the coming months. In recent editions, almost all of the world’s top chess players have participated, including the recent champion Magnus Carlsen.

Pink Polish Autumn

Golden Polish autumn in October shows its most beautiful, most colorful face. To all the colors that nature delights us with, we can calmly add one more – pink. Because October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the entire campaign associated with it is called Pink October. Superbet joined the campaign and donated 6000 złoty to the  Eye to Eye with Cancer Foundation (Fundacja Oko w Oko z Rakiem).

‘We are pleased that we managed to engage the entire Superbet community. We are convinced that thanks to this, we reached a large group of people and persuaded at least some of them to get tested,’ says Katarzyna Gawlik, Marketing Director of Superbet Polska.

Indeed, the reach of the campaign was spectacular. All partner clubs were involved in the communication – GKS Katowice, GKS Tychy, Górnik Zabrze, Lech Poznań, and Wisła Kraków, representatives of Super Regio, and the futsal league. Additionally, Superbet organized a contest via social media to raise awareness about the fight against breast cancer. As if that wasn’t enough, pink LED bands appeared at the match, and the players of GKS Katowice wore pink armbands.

The center of Superbet’s Pink October campaign was in Katowice. During the match of the GKS Katowice women’s team against Górnik Łęczna, the first edition of Pink October by Superbet took place. For every goal scored by the Katowice players, the bookmaker donated 1000 złoty to the Oko w Oko z Rakiem Foundation. The ladies won 2-0, so the calculation was simple – two thousand złoty went to the foundation’s account.

Additionally, before the match, fans could meet with representatives of the foundation, who had all the necessary information about breast cancer prevention.

But that wasn’t the end, as the GieKSa players invited their club colleagues to compete and challenged them, which they gladly accepted. This time, the men’s goals in the match against Śląsk were valued by Superbet at 1000 złoty. Unfortunately, the GKS Katowice players did not fulfill the task, as they did not score a single goal, but Superbet took the initiative and added 4000 złoty for the 4 points scored in the two teams’ matches, to settle this bet and transferred an additional four thousand złoty to the Oko w Oko z Rakiem Foundation’s account.

‘We hope that we managed to persuade a few women to get tested, which can save lives,’ concludes Katarzyna Gawlik.”

Superbet generously supports Stadiums Without Barriers

Another weekend of the “Stadiums Without Barriers” campaign and another thousands of zlotys, thanks to the involvement of fans and the Superbet brand, will go to Disabled Supporters’ Clubs. After the great success of the event in Zabrze, where before the international break, fans flocked to a special dart zone to raise money for fans with disabilities, it was time for more stadiums. This time, the special zone visited Katowice and Tychy.

The rules of the campaign were simple and attractive for sports fans – just approach the dartboard in the special Superbet zone located during the home matches of GieKSa and GKS Tychy and show your dart skills. The more accurate the throws, the more funds Superbet donate to the activation of fans with disabilities, associated with the Disabled Supporters’ Club of GKS Katowice and the same entity supporting GKS Tychy. Each point on the dartboard equaled one zloty in the pool.

On Friday, the special dart zone visited Katowice during the GieKSa match against Widzew Łódź. The Katowice audience, enjoying their return to the elite after a long break, eagerly joined in helping people with disabilities, flocking to try their hand at dart throwing. It was no different on Monday in Tychy, during the derby clash between GKS and Ruch Chorzów. Everyone was united not only by the desire to loudly support their favorites but also by the common goal of doing good.

Fans of all three clubs (including the earlier visit to Zabrze at the Górnik stadium) impressed not only with their involvement and the number of people who showed up in the Superbet zone. They also demonstrated that they are familiar with dart games and have top-notch hand-eye coordination. Thanks to them, Superbet donated a total of 20,000 zlotys to the stadium activation of fans with disabilities, joining the nationwide “Stadiums Without Barriers” campaign.

“Football is a beautiful sport, also because of its inclusiveness. There is no place for any barriers in football. Increasingly modern infrastructure helps ensure that fans with disabilities can also enjoy the sport. Thanks to the involvement of fans in our special dart zones, Disabled Supporters’ Clubs received additional funds for statutory purposes. And what makes us happiest is that it is really one group of fans helping another. It is an honor for us to be able to support this financially,” emphasizes Łukasz Seweryniak, general manager of Superbet Poland.

Poland Business Run 2024

On Sunday, as part of Superbet Poland tradition, 30 Superbetters participated at an amazing running charity initiative – the Poland Business Run. It was the third time when our Polish team attended, having a total of 60 people who have already taken part in three editions: in Warsaw, Katowice and this year even in Romania. This was not only an opportunity to do something good, but an excellent way for our people to connect and spend quality time.

Even more, this year, the charity kilometers were transformed into a real form of support for people with disabilities and women recovering after undergoing a mastectomy. This way we were able to help others while also raising awareness about health related causes among our team.

Stadium without barriers – edition 2024

A stadium without barriers, but with an extraordinary dart zone where every point thrown by fans translated into financial support for fans with disabilities. A spontaneous meeting with Jerzy Dudek, who also threw darts. His technique, worthy of the greatest football masters, resulted in record-breaking competition results during the match break, including three hits on the crossbar. The events at the stadium in Zabrze during the Górnik vs. Lechia match are another joint effort by Superbet, the club’s main sponsor, and the fans.

Although Górnik did not manage to score points this time, the recent home match against Lechia will be positively remembered by the fans. Once again, the fans were included by Superbet, the club’s main sponsor, in a joint activity that benefited not only the participants but also the Górnik Zabrze Disabled Fans Club.

– As part of the Stadiony Bez Barier (Stadiums Without Barriers) campaign, we once again wanted to do something good for fans with disabilities together with the fans from Zabrze. We are once again impressed by the commitment of Górnik fans and their big hearts, always ready to do something good together. In our special dart zone, every point thrown translated into złoty donated by Superbet to the statutory purposes of the KKN, and additionally, the fan received the same amount from us for themselves, in the form of a free bet to use in our app. The best could also win a Górnik fan shirt. In total, the engaged fans scored over 7,400 points, and we decided to round this amount up to a neat 10,000 złotys, donated to support the activation of fans with disabilities in Zabrze – emphasizes Katarzyna Gawlik, Marketing Director of Superbet Polska.

An additional attraction in the dart zone was the unexpected visit of Jerzy Dudek. The legend of Liverpool and the Polish national team tried his hand at throwing darts, later finding time for photos, autographs, and pleasant conversations with fans. The Superbet ambassador also took part in the official handing over of a check for 10,000 złotys to representatives of the Disabled Fans Club during the break of the match against Lechia.

Superbet supported the Angels during the Legendary Space Jam

The largest charitable sports event in the region could not do without the support of the Superbet foundation. During the Legendary Space Jam at the Spodek Arena in Katowice, our ambassador Sławomir Peszko wrote a check for 10,000 PLN, and the entire amount will support the House of Guardian Angels in aiding individuals from difficult backgrounds in Silesia.

 The Legendary Space Jam with the Angels is an event with significant traditions in Katowice. As part of the sports competition on the volleyball and basketball courts, teams composed of sports and media stars face off against each other. Playing basketball and volleyball were, among others, Sławomir Peszko, Kuba Błaszczykowski, Paweł Domagała, Joanna Jędrzejczyk, Sylwia Bomba, Irek Bieleninik, Bartosz Obuchowicz, Ruda from Red Lips, Krzysztof Ignaczak, Mariusz Kałamaga, Bartosz Demczuk, Małgorzata Glinka, Magdalena Śliwa, Dariusz Dudek, and Zygmunt Chajzer.

The entire proceeds from ticket sales – and crowds of fans appeared in the stands, cheering on their idols – were donated to the association House of Guardian Angels, which has been working for over 30 years to help marginalized individuals and those from pathological environments. – Recently, the social situation of our wards has deteriorated significantly. More and more children come to us hungry, have problems bathing at home. That is why we have launched full steam ahead with nutrition and assistance. Every ticket is real help for children in need of support – says Monika Bajka, president of the House of Guardian Angels.

Superbet ensured an additional opportunity to raise funds for a noble cause. During halftime of the basketball match, five fans and five stars tried to shoot hoops side by side, and each successful shot was worth a thousand złoty donated to the “Angels” account. Although accuracy was not the best, then… Sławomir Peszko rode in on a white horse. – Superbet will still donate the full amount, 10,000 złoty for the House of Guardian Angels – announced the former Polish national football team representative and current ambassador of the bookmaker.

– We warmly congratulate each of the event’s participants, both those who competed on the field and the fans. We are proud to be part of such important initiatives. We work extensively for CSR initiatives, but we do not hide that the House of Guardian Angels, with which we have been cooperating for a long time, has an important place in our hearts. It was obvious to us that regardless of whether the participants hit the basket or not, we want to support them financially as much as possible – emphasizes Łukasz Seweryniak, CEO of Superbet Poland.

Bullseye! Sports stars and Superbet support paralympians 

The role of the Cupra Padlowe tournament partner, where well-known athletes and journalists competed on padel courts, was an excellent opportunity for us to carry out a CSR action in support of Paralympians. Each participant in the tournament could test their skills in darts, and the number of points scored on the target translated into specific financial support for athletes with disabilities ahead of the upcoming Paralympic Games in Paris.

Among the participants of the Cupra Padlowe tournament, there were former representatives of Poland in football, such as Tomasz Kłos and Marcin Żewłakow, as well as figures known from the world tennis courts (including former WTA ranking leader Agnieszka Radwańska and Wimbledon semifinalist Jerzy Janowicz). Superbet, the official tournament partner, decided to seize the opportunity to do something good together and collected funds in a special darts area for the benefit of the Polish Paralympic Committee Foundation. Thanks to the commitment, sharp eyes, and skilled hands of the stars participating in Cupra Padlowe, Superbet donated 15,000 Polish złotys to the Paralympians!

The collected funds will aid in preparations for the most important quadrennial competitions for these Paralympians who lack ministerial grants, increasing their chances of achieving their dream successes. Additionally, they will support the development of young, talented athletes, as well as contribute to the foundation’s efforts on behalf of former Paralympians facing difficult life situations.

‘We thank you for the support; finally, assistance to our Paralympians who will soon compete for medals in Paris is a bullseye. We are pleased that in an Olympic year, Superbet also remembers us,’ says Łukasz Szeliga, President of the Foundation

The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity – 2024

Three auctions, three extraordinary prizes, and nearly 20,000 Polish złotys collected for the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. Superbet enthusiastically joined the largest CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiative in Poland, involving its ambassadors and partners. A total of 7,000 people clicked auctions pages, with 50 participants bidding.

Superbet’s first proposal in the WOŚP auctions was the opportunity to follow a selected home match of Lech Poznań in the Ekstraklasa (Polish top football league) from behind-the-scenes TV coverage. Thanks to collaboration with the official broadcaster of the league, Canal+, Superbet, as the strategic sponsor of Lech Poznań, offered football enthusiasts an exciting opportunity. The auction winner, who bid 5,800 złotys, will get to experience the TV production process on match day and witness a top-level football Ekstraklasa match from an unprecedented perspective.

‘We are delighted that both CANAL+ and our partners from Lech quickly embraced the idea of supporting WOŚP together. As Lech’s sponsor, we always prioritize fans and aim to give them something extraordinary. Hence, the desire to connect our partners and offer fans an exceptional experience at the stadium near Bułgarska Street. We are confident that this will be a memorable day. And most importantly, the funds raised will effectively contribute to treating lung diseases after the coronavirus pandemic,’ emphasizes Łukasz Seweryniak, CEO of Superbet Polska.

However, that’s not the end of the attractions proposed by the bookmaker. Also up for auction was… a walk with Mateusz Borek in his hometown of Dębica, combined with watching a local Wisłoka match. Mateusz Borek, one of Poland’s best football commentators and also an ambassador for Superbet, is a walking treasure trove of football anecdotes. So, it’s no wonder that fans were interested in the opportunity for such an informal meeting. This particular auction achieved the highest amount of 8,900 Polish złotys, contributing to the support of the Orchestra.

The third auction offers a VIP ticket package to the Superbet Poland Darts Masters 2024, the largest darts event in our country. The winner, in addition to the double VIP entry allowing access behind the scenes, will return home with a dartboard signed by the stars of the event. Thanks to this auction, an additional 4,000 złotys were donated to the WOŚP account.

– Superbet Poland Darts Masters was one of our biggest positive surprises last year. We knew that darts was an incredibly exciting sport, but the attendance and the immense energy of the audience exceeded our expectations as the title sponsor of the tournament. This year, the event will be even grander, so winning such an auction is like hitting the bullseye! – smiles Katarzyna Gawlik, Marketing Director of Superbet.
