Invitation to the Winner’s Games
The regional stage of the competition will be held on October 26 at Sukharev Sport Complex in Perm.
The Winners' Games is a sports festival for children who have undergone treatment for cancer. The event is organized by the Bereginya Charitable Foundation and the general partner Metafrax Chemicals, thanks to which the competitions are held in Perm annually.
Maria Konovalova, Director of Strategic Communications at JSC Metafrax Chemicals:
“First of all, the Winners' Games is a festival for those who have already won their most important victory: the victory over the disease and their closest people such as friends and relatives. Many thanks to everyone who participates in the implementation of this kind and necessary project. First and foremost, to the true professionals from the Bereginya Charitable Foundation in an important and very sensitive topic: helping children with cancer. The annual holding of the Winners' Games became possible thanks to the management’s position of Metafrax Chemicals and Ruschem holding, which preserve the priorities of patronage and charitable activities. Many thanks to everyone who has been supporting this significant initiative with their resources for many years.”
It’s planned that 50 young athletes from all over the Perm Territory will take part in the festival. During the day, the children will compete in various sports disciplines such as boccia, mini football, table tennis, running, speed walking and sport shooting. Each participant chose the most suitable sport for him/her and is ready to show his/her achievements in the fight for victory.
The main goal of the Winners' Games is to help children who have gone through difficult and long–term treatment to return to an active life, gain self-confidence and feel the joy of physical activity. An important task is also to create an atmosphere of friendship and support among the participants, their families and volunteers.
The Winners' Games will start on October 26 at 09.30 at Sukharev Sport Complex (Perm, Kosmonavtov Highway, 158A). Admission is free. Workshops, creative areas and board games will be available for children at the venue.
We invite you to become fans and support children who faced with a serious disease, to create a special atmosphere of a big sports event!
