In a special action to celebrate World Refugee Day, which was last Tuesday (20), Play For a Cause, a company that uses the powers of sport and entertainment as tools for social transformation, promotes a charity auction in support of NGO Refúgio 343, which is dedicated to the socioeconomic reintegration of refugees and migrants. The items in the auction were donated by the eternal idol Zico, adding value and exclusivity to the cause.
Until June 30th, sports fans and collectors will have the opportunity to bid on items signed by the former player on the official website.
Among the objects being auctioned are a ball autographed by Zico, accompanied by a personalized ‘Game of the Stars 2022’ bag, with an initial bid of R$500.00; and an autographed shirt, along with a towel and a personalized cup, also from the Jogo das Estrelas, with an initial bid of R$ 700.00.
André Georges, founder and CEO of Play For a Cause, emphasizes a commitment to using sport as a transformative force to promote social inclusion and support relevant causes.
“Zico is contributing to the realization of our mission of helping others. This auction is a way to promote solidarity and support those facing challenges in search of a new life”, he comments.
Currently, Brazil has more than 65,000 recognized refugees. The number grows each year, in a global trend. Therefore, the NGO Refúgio 343 has been working since 2019 to ensure the social recovery of refugees and migrants in the country, rescuing lives in 229 cities in 19 states and the Federal District. In addition, the organization has already delivered more than 4,200 certifications through Escola Refúgio, focusing on guaranteeing fundamental rights such as employment, education and health.
“We need to join forces to ensure that all refugee people have the chance to start their stories anew. This is the job of Refúgio 343: to provide the basic means for the economic reintegration of refugees”, explains Carolina Nunes, manager of Operations and New Business at the NGO.
