An Impactful Initiative
In hopes of making a positive change, Centurion FC turned the entry to their latest event, CFC18, into an opportunity for attendees to contribute to a greater cause. Fans were granted free access to the event in exchange for a donation of a kilogram of basic necessities. This innovative approach resulted in a considerable collection of food items, benefiting the Boogie Woogie Community of Ilha do Governador, Rio de Janeiro.
Delivering More Than Just Entertainment
Following the hype and adrenaline of CFC18, the focus shifted to a cause close to Centurion FC’s heart - community support. «Our mission extends far beyond the octagon,» stated Roberto Gallo, President of CFC, emphasizing the organization’s commitment to leveraging the platform of mixed martial arts for social good. The successful delivery of the collected donations underlines CFC’s dedication to making a positive impact and spreading hope through sports.
Acknowledging the Pillars of Support
The realization of this commendable initiative would not have been possible without the unwavering support of the local authorities and community organizations. The Centurion FC team extends its deepest appreciation to the Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro and the Prefeito Eduardo Paes, Secretary of Sport Guilherme Schleder, and the Sub Prefeito Rodrigo Toledo, to the Executive SubSecretary Anna Laura Secco, to the Sports Secretary Advisor Franklin Alexandre, to the sports Secretary Advisor Jessica Barros, Renato Albuquerque, Marcelo Barros, Manager of the Nilton Santos Olympic Village and Fabricio Silva from the Residents Association of the Boogie Woogie. Their collaboration was instrumental in the success of the event and the subsequent charitable efforts.
A Model for Future Endeavors
The completion of CFC18 and the donation drive is not just a moment of pride for Centurion FC but also serves as a shining example of how sports organizations can play a pivotal role in community development and support. It represents a step forward in the ongoing mission to utilize the global appeal of sports as a force for positive change and community strengthening. CFC remains dedicated to supporting local communities through various social activities and interventions.
