Last Tuesday, at the CaixaBank Auditorium in Barcelona, the 18th edition of Relats Solidaris de l’Esport got under way with the presentation of the book. It is a non-profit project created and driven by a group of sports journalists. Once again this year, and for several years now, acrōnim has taken charge of sponsorship and event management, of organising a charity concert at the end of June, as well as making a financial contribution as a sponsor.
Within the framework of the Charity Book of sports journalism, this year's edition, with Futbol Club Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski as patron, will donate all the proceeds from book sales and the charity concert to Loovas Foundation.
Loovas Foundation is a clinical, training and research centre that offers early, intensive behavioural intervention programmes for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Lewandoswki, who takes over from Ansu Fati as patron, stressed how important it is for public figures like him to amplify causes like this one: “As athletes, we have the megaphone to reach everyone. Awareness is the key so that more and more people can contribute to the cause”.
Since it was founded, the Charity Book has had a huge impact across the media, as the vast majority of radio stations, newspapers and television channels are represented among the authors of the work. Leading journalists such as Xavi Torres (TV3), Jordi Basté (Rac1), Sergi Mas (COM Ràdio), Ramon Besa (El País) and Ricard Torquemada (Catalunya Ràdio), among others, have been part of the large group of Catalan journalists who embarked on this adventure fourteen years ago.
The goal of this edition is to reach one million euros raised over all these years.
