Real Sporting Gijón Expands its Link with The Economic Kitchen of Gijón

The Real Sporting Foundation – Marea Rojiblanca has signed a new agreement with the Economic Kitchen of Gijón for the joint collection of donations through the rental of seat cushions during matches at El Molinón. Starting this Sunday, the rental of the pads during the matches at El Molinón will serve to help the Economic Kitchen

This expanded collaboration aims to fund charitable activities, including projects such as Sporting Genuine, the ‘Fútbol Andarín’ or Mental Health teams, as well as the soup kitchen. Donors may be rewarded with surprises, some of which will be attached to these cushions. Additionally, there will be an option to make separate donations at the rental stands set up in the stadium, benefiting both the Red-and-White Foundation and the Economic Kitchen.

“We view football as a powerful social tool, and we are committed to the value of Winning by Serving. We are always pleased to participate in projects that support this vision. We want to raise awareness of this collaboration so that our fans can also get involved.”

Joaquín Alonso, Head of Institutional Relations at Real Sporting Gijón

“60% of our income comes from donations from civil society and businesses, and one of our key partners is Real Sporting, with whom we have been collaborating for many years. In addition to the various projects we work on together, it is particularly moving when their players visit us as part of the volunteer programme. The collaboration with Sporting helps us reach people who can contribute donations to continue our support for those in need.”

Ignacio Blanco Rodríguez, Vice-President at the Economic Kitchen

This Sunday, during the match against Levante UD (5:00 p.m.), this service will be available at El Molinón.
