Valletta FC Shows Solidarity with Cancer Patients Through Puttinu Cares Visit
20/12/2024
Valletta Football Club (VFC) demonstrated its ongoing commitment to community welfare today through a special visit to the Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre, where players and committee members met with representatives of Puttinu Cares Foundation.
The visit marks another milestone in VFC’s comprehensive community engagement initiative launched in July 2024, which has seen the club actively supporting various charitable organizations across Malta.
During the visit, Puttinu Cares Foundation president Angele Cuschieri and CEO Rennie Zerafa acknowledged VFC’s longstanding support and provided an update on their latest project – the completion of 27 new apartments in London. These facilities will provide crucial accommodation for Maltese cancer patients and their families seeking treatment in the UK.
In a gesture of solidarity, VFC president Claudio Grech presented the foundation with specially curated gifts, including a prized piece of club memorabilia bearing the signatures of all current VFC players competing in the BOV Challenge League. “Our partnership with Puttinu Cares reflects our deep commitment to supporting children and families facing challenging circumstances,” said Grech. “We look forward to strengthening this collaboration in the years ahead.”
This initiative follows VFC’s recent support of Caritas Malta’s “Bounce Back” program in November, further underlining the club’s dedication to meaningful community engagement.
