The minibus will be used to bring children from families who have problems accompanying them to the gym to PalaAngeli, as well as travel for the numerous children who attend basketball and mini-basketball activities and their related competitive commitments, for participation in events which are reserved for them every year. Furthermore, 30 fragile families, who enrolled their children in the Nuovo Basket L’Aquilano association, were exempted from paying club fees.
