The Romanian Chess Federation launches the project “Me too! I support Romanian chess” in partnership with Superbet Foundation

Romanian chess is about to change!

The Romanian Chess Federation launched the project “And I! I support Romanian chess”, a project to which the Superbet Foundation joined.

On December 9, 2021, the presentation of the new project proposed by the Romanian Chess Federation took place. During this celebration, Monica Anisie, former Minister of Education, Gabriel Petrescu, Vice President of the Superbet Foundation and Alin Berescu, Vice President of the Romanian Chess Federation, were present as main guests, together with the President of the Romanian Chess Federation, Vlad Ardeleanu.

Among the guests, we had Romania’s best chess players, Constantin Lupulescu and Bogdan Deac. Superbet offered them each a prize of 40,000 euros, to further support their evolution in professional chess.

During the event, the president of the Romanian Chess Federation explained the benefits of the project “Me too! I support Romanian chess”, and the perspective for the next 4 years.

Both professional chess players and young people eager to learn the secrets of the mind sport are targeted in this project. Also, one of the ideas behind this project aims to implement chess in as many schools as possible to bring it closer to the students’ activities.

The end of the presentation was marked by the donation of 240,000 euros offered by Superbet in order to support this extended project over the next 4 years. We are confident in the new leadership of the Romanian Chess Federation and we want to bring chess among the most popular sports in Romania.

With the help of the involvement of the Superbet Foundation, Romanian players will have the chance to participate in as many international competitions as possible, and Romania can earn a place of honor on the world chess map.

The Superbet Foundation kicks off cycling with the Ride On SuperEvent!

Sport and health will always be in the focus of the Superbet Foundation.

Heroines who have gone through the battle with cancer need our support, and the Ride On project  – initiated by the Imunis Association and financed by the Superbet Foundation – is the best initiative for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and an effective recovery after a specialized treatment.

November 29 will remain memorable for this event. I had the pleasure of meeting the fighters of the Imunis Association who had the strength and courage to overcome one of life’s hardest obstacles, awarding them with 8 outdoor bikes and 14 indoor bikes.

Their energy is immeasurable and their motivation has become contagious from the very first moments.

Our joy was immense to see more than 20 women of all ages ready to start a new activity, guiding themselves towards a healthier lifestyle and an easier recovery after treatment.

The Ride On event was accompanied by good cheer, laughter and a lot of motivation from the patients. The biggest surprise was the enthusiasm with which they spoke to us about getting back on 2 wheels after a long break.

Courage and positive energy define the heroines of the Imunis Association, and the Ride On project is only a first step towards motivating more women to include sport in their daily activities.

It’s never too late to make a change in your life! Health remains first, and the Superbet Foundation strongly believes in the influence of a harmonious lifestyle.

The club from Timișoara still has 8 medals in its track record, prizes won by children between 10 and 15 years old. The efforts of the athletes, the involvement of the Superbet Foundation and the guidance of sensei Mihai Stanciu led to a remarkable performance of the club; ambition and daily effort will guide young athletes to at least as good results in future competitions.

Over 100 oxygen concentrators and 3000 masks have arrived at hospitals in the country

The Superbet Foundation is always ready to lend a helping hand!

The Sars-Cov-2 virus did not stop for a second from making victims. So we decided to once again give a helping hand to the heroes in white coats, those on the front line. The fight for them is more than exhausting. An effective device could help them in this endless battle in which hundreds of people fight for life every day. The 110 devices distributed to hospitals in the country give them the opportunity to fight the disease more effectively.

With confidence in our souls and hope for the best, we chose to equip 67 hospitals in the country with 110 oxygen concentrators and 3000 related masks, professional materials with which doctors can save thousands of patients.

Every life saved means a lot to us, which is why we decided to mobilize in record time to send the concentrators to the medical facilities in the country. At the beginning of November, we received a first shipment of 10 concentrators, devices that benefited hospitals in crisis situations, from the cities of Pitesti, Craiova, Turnu Măgurele and Timișoara. Until the middle of November, we managed to complete the distribution of another 100 oxygen concentrators and 3000 masks.

When the concentrators were distributed, dozens of volunteers from the Superbet Group were present, as well as important personalities from the world of sports: Ana Maria Popescu, Cătălin Moroșanu, Ilie Dumitrescu, Virgil Stănescu, Vali Moraru and Bogdan Stelea.

The Superbet ambassadors showed their support for the doctors on the front line and participated in loading the devices that were to be sent to the hospitals in the country.

The action initiated and financed by the Superbet Group, to which INACO and Dentotal contributed with the logistical effort, was received with gratitude by the medical staff.

“As the beneficiary of 3 concentrators and 90 oxygen masks, we would like to thank you for the joint efforts to manage the COVID19 pandemic and for the help provided. Being an emergency hospital, we are overloaded during this period, having between 250-300 positively confirmed patients under permanent observation. Some are hospitalized in hospital wards (ATI Covid, Intermediate Therapy, DTA) and another, waiting, at the UPU. The need for oxygen is very high”, says Dr. Socea Bogdan, manager of the St. Pantelimon Emergency Clinical Hospital in Bucharest.

Every initiative counts, and we hope that the action of the Superbet Foundation will be a first step towards bringing the medical system to an optimal level in order to save the lives of as many patients as possible.

With a lot of caution, together we can get through this pandemic and bring back normalcy to our lives. We all miss the moments of full freedom, but our health and that of those around us is above all. Show that you care and take care of yourself!

Superbet Foundation helps Bagdasar Hospital in the fight against Covid-19

Covid 19 has sounded the alarm for each of us, but unfortunately, the fight against this relentless disease has become increasingly difficult for the health system and for the heroes in hospitals, on the front line.

October 2021 – Bagdasar Arseni Hospital was facing a major problem, a failure of two of the oxygen machines that the hospital has. Patients’ lives were at stake.

The Superbet Foundation takes a stand: it immediately equips the hospital with two more oxygen concentrators, absolutely necessary devices for patients admitted to the ATI. Borderline situations require quick solutions.

In high-risk situations, we are aware that our involvement can make a difference, and the fight against Covid-19 has motivated us to be more united in saving patients seriously affected by this virus.

Doctors have the first merit in saving patients, but their efforts must be complemented by specialized equipment and financial resources. This is where we decided to intervene, and the endowment of the Bagdasar-Arseni Hospital is just another step in what it means to involve the Superbet Foundation in the anti-Covid fight, after the actions taken starting from spring 2020.

Until the end of November 2021, the Superbet Foundation will donate to several hospitals, some of the most necessary medical equipment – oxygen concentrators, to help the Romanian health system overcome the consequences of the Covid-19 virus.

We are aware that only together we can save lives. Together we will get through this pandemic. The doctors do their duty with abundance (and we thank them for their superhuman efforts to save others). The Superbet Foundation is with them.

 What can you do? Get vaccinated and take all the protective measures you need!

The Superbet Foundation celebrated “White Cane Day”

Superbet Foundation is always with the champions, regardless of the obstacles they face.

Friday, October 15, was “White Cane Day”, an event dedicated to blind champions who had the courage to “look” beyond any problem they face. Discouragement can often be a first instinct when faced with a difficult situation, but Paralympic champions have shown us that their motivation can exceed expectations. Cold and muscle pain were the most formidable opponents in the big competitions, but not strong enough to stop them from conquering the prizes obtained. 

With the financial support from the Superbet Foundation, the Climb Again Association was able to support its athletes in several international competitions held during this year, having one of the largest batches present at the Paraclimbing World Championship. The will of the team impressed us beyond measure, and their efforts motivate us to be with them in future competitions as well. 

White Cane Day was accompanied by good cheer, and the stories of the Climb Again champions made us understand that their ambition lies above any altitude reached. The event started with a series of climbs in which the junior team demonstrated our motor skills, and was completed by a clay modeling session in which art and sport merged wonderfully. White Cane Day ended with public applause after the stories told by Răzvan Nedu, a young man with more than 10 prizes won in major international competitions, who, although only 1% sighted, managed to climb Elbrus (5,642m)

White Cane Day reminded us again that will is above all else and that our support can bring about remarkable achievements. With the help of the Superbet Foundation, the national paraclimbing team ensured its participation in the most important competitions, having medaled athletes in all events. We are proud to be with them and sure that the future holds even more medals for them.

The Superbet Foundation was present at the 21st edition of the “Lighting in Pink” event

Starting from 2020, the Superbet Foundation, as the main sponsor of the Renaștearea Foundation, is showing its support to the heroines who beat breast cancer by lighting up one of the capital’s beautiful buildings in pink.

Prevention is the best way to maintain the best possible state of health or to find out in time if there is a problem, to intervene before it is too late. The “Iluminare en roz” event has as its first goal to bring prevention back to the attention of women everywhere.

Starting at 19:00, we were present in front of the former Marmorosch Bank building in the Old Center of Bucharest, to watch the light show dedicated to the heroines who defeated one of the most dangerous diseases of the moment. Completed by the solidarity of the participants, the color pink acquired a strong meaning, being a message of support intended for all women fighting this disease.

We gathered in great numbers!

The presence of the Superbet Foundation was also felt by the large number of participants in the “Iluminarii in Roz” preparatory event, namely the RACE FOR CURE race, organized with the same goal, that of the fight against breast cancer. As in 2020, the Superbet Foundation team was the most numerous.

Lack of time is a problem we all face, but we firmly believe that health comes first, and a regular checkup should be part of every woman’s schedule.

Unfortunately, far too many women also encounter financial problems or live too far from a hospital or simply do not have the necessary medical education, which prevents them from ensuring a periodic checkup to prevent medical complications. Here we assumed the mission of being Superheroes and managed, together with the Renașteara Foundation, to provide them with some of the necessary support, through the campaigns carried out.

SuperAmbassadors showed their support

This year’s edition of “Iluminarii in Roz” was hosted by the well-known presenter Andreea Esca, and among the participating personalities were also our SuperAmbassadors, Ana Maria Popescu (Brânza) and Cătălin Moroșanu. Our champions each gave a speech on the importance of breast cancer prevention and sent a clear call to all women. “Go to the doctor and take care of your own health”

The first among donors!

We like to be the first when it comes to helping others, which is why the volunteers of the Superbet team donated this year, as in 2020, the largest amount of money to help women who are unable to provide a periodic medical check-up.  

Together with these kind-hearted volunteers, we are sounding the alarm for women everywhere:

Go to the doctor! Cancer spreads if you do nothing. Every day counts. A simple check can save your life!

The Superbet Foundation together with the authors of the “Don’t Take Them for Granted” project

Bucharest, October 13, 2020  –  For those who may still doubt that the COVID-19 infection is as serious as it gets, a collection of photos documenting over 70 hours of the fight against COVID-19 can be seen in  George Square Enescu  from Bucharest.

It is about the  “Don’t Take Them for Granted” project,  dedicated to the medical staff and all those on the front line, who have been fighting the virus day by day for eight months. There are impressive moments captured even in the ATI wards of three Bucharest hospitals – the National Institute of Infectious Diseases “Prof. Dr. Matei Balș”, the ROL 2 Military Hospital and the University Emergency Hospital.  

The Superbet Foundation, together with three other companies and entities such as ARCUB, Bucharest City Hall and the Ministry of Defense made possible the step to transform the invisible into the visible: two artists,  Cristian Movilă  and  Capucine Gros  , photographed the doctors of the three hospitals, even on the battlefield with a disease that  has already claimed  over a million victims worldwide and over 5,400 in Romania.

 “Involvement in ‘ Do n’t take them for granted ‘ is a continuation of the Superbet  Foundation’s efforts to be  with those who save lives .  If from March until now we have chosen to concretely help the medical staff with protective equipment, biocides and tests, this time we have chosen an artistic project that highlights the superefforts that some of our peers make every day. I was impressed not only by the access for the public eye to the scenes of the battle for life, but also by this call for empathy and the need for community solidarity in such moments of crisis”,  said Augusta Dragic, president of the Superbet Foundation and a surgeon by profession.

 The artist Capucine Gros wanted to explain one of the powerful messages of the new photo-documentary – “……  remembering that we are all someone’s child is a simple and accessible idea. But on a much deeper level, it makes us see everyone else as an invisible interconnected web and not as solitary individuals. In times like these, we need empathy, solidarity and a real understanding of what the strength of a community can mean.”

 The project initiated by the UNFINISHED community also benefited from the collaboration of the actor Benedict Cumberbatch (voice over) and the gallant Chilean conceptual artist, Alfredo Jaar, recently named the winner of the prestigious HASSELBLAD prize for photography.

Starting from October 9, 2020, the installation is open to the public in George Enescu Square in Bucharest, and in the online environment, the project can be viewed on  https://superbetfoundation.com,   https://notforgranted.org, either via  Vimeo or  YouTube.

We remind you that within the #PariemPeBine campaign ,  initiated since  March this year, the Superbet Foundation donated protective equipment, tests and biocides to 35 hospitals in Romania. The effort was supported in partnership with two other Associations –  INACO  and  Zi de bine .

Through the Superbet Foundation, the Superbet Group, the largest sports betting operator in Romania, regularly runs CSR programs through which it gets involved in the life of the community.
