Victory off the field for the young red and white rugby players. The ceremony for the 2023/2024 Commitment Award took place at the Auditorium Sant’Angelo in Bastia Umbra, Italy, honoring the boys of Rugby Perugia Junior. The event was promoted by the sports club and Concetti S.p.A.
The collaboration between Rugby Perugia Junior and Concetti S.p.A. began in 2022, and this initiative is part of the sponsorship activities for the 2023/2024 season. As technical director Emanuele Concetti stated, "the two organizations are united by shared ideals and values such as team spirit, discipline, and respect for the opponent".
Three commitment awards, consisting of monetary contributions, were given to athletes who stood out for their academic performance, participation in the club's social activities, consistency in training, match attendance, discipline, and sportsmanship. The first prize was awarded to Marco Cavalieri, with Andrea Marchesini and Damiano Straccali sharing second place.
Federico Baldinelli, president of Rugby Perugia Junior, emphasized the importance of institutions and companies like Concetti for a particularly inclusive sports organization, like his.
The successful partnership is set to continue in the 2024/2025 season, as announced by Riccardo Concetti, the sales and marketing director, who thanked the club, the athletes, and their families.
The ceremony, sponsored by the Municipality of Bastia Umbra, was attended by Mayor Erigo Pecci and the Councilor for Culture and Territorial Promotion, Paolo Ansideri.
We extend our congratulations to all the participating athletes and wish Rugby Perugia Junior the best of luck for the newly started season!
