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.

A step forward for culture – Superbet Foundation supports Matricea Românească magazine

Superbet Foundation supports the continuation of the publication of Matricea Românească magazine and starts a new program of merit scholarships for students. 

The Superbet Foundation’s involvement in the Matricea Românească project is aimed at keeping the cultural pillar in the attention of young people and transmitting strong moral landmarks to posterity. 

We believe in the motto “Children are the future” and we want every child to have access to a healthy education and the freedom to choose a series of values important for a good development. 

The partnership between Superbet Foundation and Matricea Românească also includes a scholarship project for rural students. 

Unfortunately, tens of thousands of rural children are forced to drop out of the education system in Romania because of the limited possibilities. Through this scholarship project, we want to give them the opportunity to continue their studies and make the best of their lives. 

We are happy to be with our partners from Matricea Românească and we will continue to support the approach of young people and children to the cultural domain.

The tradition of culture must be preserved – Superbet Foundation supports the continuity of Dilema Veche magazine

The Superbet Foundation financially supports Dilema Veche magazine for the continuity of a cultural tradition. 

“Books make you miss places you’ve never been”, and the Superbet Foundation has chosen to partner with Dilema Veche magazine to support readers’ passion for books. 

With each book we read we enrich our knowledge, and the classic reading, on paper, retains a mystery for literary enthusiasts. Although the old methods seem more and more used, the Superbet Foundation wanted to preserve an ancient habit and keep books in physical format on the market. 

In 2020, Dilema Veche was on the verge of ending physical book printing, with online having a strong hold on readers. 

However, a good proportion of literary enthusiasts prefer to savour a good book, flicking through page by page. The smell of the paper and the sound of flipping pages remain essential to many of us. 

To carry this beautiful habit forward, the Superbet Foundation has purchased 500 weekly subscriptions over a period of 6 months.  Sales have grown exponentially and with the support of the Superbet Foundation, print has been able to get back into the hands of readers.

Partnership with the Aspen Institute Romania

Since 2008, when it was just a business initiative, the Superbet Group has been inspired to also be a way to support a better life for our employees and their families, especially for future generations.

Having the same values ​​as the democracies of the European Union and the US, we have identified our aspirations and goals with the goals of the “Play for Life 2019” program, which aims to initiate a process of developing the physical education of children in Romania between the ages of 5 and 12, for to boost their ability, confidence and desire to be active for life.
