and for the achievement of social goals.
It takes place every year at the “Le Sequoie” Sports Center in Carsoli (AQ) and sees the
sport and art, united for one purpose: Solidarity! Many associations, cooperatives, pro-loco e
local realities collaborate to create a day full of fun between sports,
entertainment, music, creative workshops, food and much more for young and old.
The structure of the program is repeated annually in a constant way: the opening of the event with

various activities (zomba, dance, tennis, archery, volleyball, soccer, judo, creative workshops,
climbing, singing performances and much more. The pro loco territoriali who never miss theirs
support by guaranteeing lunch to the participants, each with their own culinary specialties.
Subsequently, we dedicate ourselves to a moment of discussion: “the round table”, according to the theme
proposed by the Board of Directors of the Association which, gladly takes the opportunity, to inform the
partners on the activities carried out and future projects, usually with testimonies of the children’s experience e
of the families welcomed “A Casa di Edo”.
There are also stands for the entire day for the sale of sweets and for the membership of
those who intend to support the Association.
After the afternoon activities, the day comes to an end with an emotional greeting from everyone in Edo
with the launch of the balloons and a “colorful” moment guaranteed by the launch of color powder, like this
that the thousand colors “visible” on the faces of each can be a reflected image of the color of the hearts.
The central theme of this year will be raising awareness of blood donation; a
a mission that is configured as a strong and important signal in a society with ever more values
weak. Being donors, as well as being a social fact, is having within that particular sensitivity that
allows you to feel at the disposal of others; it is an inner state that allows you to enhance the
value of life, to break down those barriers that too often divide us.
This is in synthesis the philosophy and the culture that EDOmaniSplayed every year with this event wants
transmit; a particular message and not easy to propose because if it is to speak of a gift
difficult … talking about the gift of blood, platelets and marrow is even more difficult.
