Also this year, Consorzio Promovetro collaborates with Fondazione Banca degli Occhi, on the occasion of the 30th Venice Marathon, which will be run on 25th October 2015
For the second year, the project CORRI PER LA VISTA 2015 is part of the Venice Marathon Charity Program, an event which raised € 6.000 last year and has already raised more than € 8.000 this year.
100 runners are ready to face the 42 km long run for this initiative, and each one of them, with his own stories and experiences, is sharing a common message of sport and solidarity. The funds raised will be used to “adopt” a researcher to work at the foundation for at least 6 months.
The most generous and active athletes will be awarded with a special Murano Glass gift by Consorzio Promovetro and the Vetro Artistico® Murano companies.
“This Venice Marathon initiative is just one of the many we carry on with the Fondazione Banca degli Occhi. It represents a great pride and satisfaction to us – says Luciano Gambaro, President of Consorzio Promovetro – as Murano is not only a productive excellence, but also a group of people who wants to be part of the city and its realities. A further way to promote the Vetro Artistico® Murano trademark”.
