Fulgor Trevignano 8.5 thousand euros, followed by Tarvisium rugby players with 8 thousand and Montebelluna Nuoto della Panziera
A booty of 302 thousand 784 euros. Gold already poured in pre-Covid, a godsend in times of pandemic. The reference is to the amount of the contributions of five per thousand of the personal income tax for Treviso sports associations. Payments that take shape from the declarations made in 2020 on the income of the previous year.
Deliveries that become pure oxygen for the amateur world and small companies, worn out by the Covid era. Just think of the free-fall membership, the anesthetized basic activity, the box office crippled by closed-door competitions. Doing a quick count, the recipients of the contributions are 255 companies of the Brand. This means that the average income is equal to 1,187 euros.
all disciplines
All disciplines are represented: from volleyball to skiing, from basketball to orienteering. The “Scroogers” of over eight thousand euros are counterbalanced by realities that have to “settle” for a few pennies: the Centro Cinofilo di Sernaglia collects just 10.83 euros. When it is said that it is the gesture that counts.
Drawing up a ranking, it turns out that the first place is the prerogative of football, especially of Fulgor Trevignano: 8,569 euros and 397 subscribers. Not a leading club, but historically important in the youth field: 300 members, 13 teams. The donations collected are also a testimony of the affection and social function carried out by this historic company.
rugby and swimming
Tarvisium follows, the rugby “red shirts”, an institution in Treviso: 8,038 euros, 132 to choose it for five per thousand. The podium is completed by Montebelluna Nuoto, national reference for lane and artistic swimming. Just to be clear: Margherita Panziera grew up at the swimming pools of Contea, five medals (with gold on the 200 back) at the European Championships in Budapest, before taking off in Rome at the Aniene, the real pride of Montebelluna Nuoto.
And that club still includes Beatrice Callegari and Enrica Piccoli, essential pawns of the synchronized national team. The subscribers, 169 in all and with a booty of 7,462 euros, wanted to reward a club-nursery of 250 athletes.
champions zone
The “Champions zone” is completed with Villorba rugby: six thousand euros linked to 181 tax returns, the highest number after Fulgor. Inciso: the oval ball, as well as strongly rooted in the territory, is a “family discipline”, very strong ties unite former players with clubs after many years.
«An injection of resources that represents a very strong signal», comments Mario Sanson, Coni provincial delegate, «Citizens have understood the social value of sport, the importance of sport in the training of young people. All the more so in a difficult time like this. They will be valuable contributions to the basic activity ».
the protest of the cones
It is inevitable to go back to the CONI protest a couple of weeks ago: the sport of the little ones cornered by the pandemic, the companies struggling with a haemorrhage of sponsors and members. But from whom do the donations come? Often by families who have their child enrolled in football or judo. Often by supporters, former athletes. Often by residents in the same municipality.
football is depopulated
In the first 10, the ball depopulated: in addition to Fulgor, there are Conegliano, Vittsangiacomo and Union Gaia. Basketball is well represented, with Vigor Hesperia, Ponzano and Ormelle. Rugby includes Tarvisium and Villorba, but also the 11th: the Oderzo Griffins.
In parallel, 11 partnerships with donations under 50 euros do not escape, just a pizza for the board of directors.
A friendship award for the individual subscribers of Orienteering Treviso, Centro Cinofilo Sernaglia and Panda Karate Padernello. But there are still important signs from a territory that violates testify belonging and affection to those who allow them to carry on their passion. –
