Parma, 28 November 2024 - The Anolino Solidale is a long-standing tradition and a significant event for Parma Calcio, a symbol of our constant commitment to social responsibility. This project, born from the initiative of Parma Facciamo Squadra, sees all areas of the Club getting involved: Sport, Corporate and Paralympic football.

A delegation of 45 members of Parma Calcio - including athletes of the Women's and Men's First Team, managers, employees and collaborators - from Krause Group Italia, took an active part in a shift to prepare anolini, an example of corporate volunteering that strengthens the link between the Club and the territory. In addition, the boys of the Parma Special Paralympic football team, coordinated by manager Emanuela Andronaco, also contributed as volunteers, bringing further meaning to this solidarity initiative.

To witness the importance of the event, Captain Enrico Delprato and Parma's Edoardo Corvi participated as starts in the promotional spot of the 2024 edition, highlighting Parma Calcio's direct commitment in promoting values of solidarity. Ange-Yoan Bonny and Woyo Coulibaly from the Men's First Team, together with players Gaia Lonati and Sofia Meneghini from the Women's First Team joined the initiative, kneading the anolini together with the many volunteers, further reinforcing the Club's presence and its message of inclusion and community.

The proceeds from this year's Anolino Solidale will go to Caritas di Parma and the Emporio Market Solidale, in support of the more than 26,000 families and around 39,000 people living in situations of economic and social hardship. The Emporio Market Solidale, already a long-standing partner of Parma Calcio, shares with the Club the important principle of fighting food waste. The funds collected will be used for civic education and active citizenship training projects aimed at young people. In addition, a portion will be allocated to the purchase of equipment for the prevention and management of public emergencies, such as disasters and humanitarian crises, coordinated by Parma's Protezione Civile and its province. And from December, the anolini will be sold in all Conad sales outlets.

‘The Anolino Solidale is now a tradition for Parma Calcio. From the very beginning, we have participated not only because of the initiative promoted by Parma Facciamo Squadra, which fully reflects our values, but also because of the concrete purposes the event serves. Over the last few years, our commitment has grown: we have gone from giving a simple support to a real contribution through social responsibility activities and corporate volunteering. We are here with a delegation of 45 people including members of Parma Calcio and Krause Group Italia, including our club members, together with Paralympic footballers, who bear witness to our ever-increasing commitment to social inclusion. The proceeds of the initiative this year will go to organisations that are particularly close to us, such as the Emporio Market Solidale, with whom we have been collaborating for years on projects that share our fundamental values such as the fight against food waste and support for families in difficulty,' said Giuseppe Squarcia, who is responsible for CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) at Parma Calcio.

With the Anolino Solidale, Parma Calcio reaffirms our commitment to being not only a football team, but also a focal point for the community, promoting values of solidarity, inclusion and mutual support.
