CAB, CNF and DPA again hold hands because of solidarity

For the seventh consecutive year, the CAB, Naval Club and the Portuguese Association of Disabilities will hold the Solidary Aquatic Basketball Tournament. The event, which will take place on 28 January, a Saturday, in the Sports Complex of the Naval Club of Funchal. The initiative, sponsored by three reference institutions, is based on an innovative sports concept, insofar as it associates basketball with swimming, through an adaptation of the basketball field, with tables, markers and basketball to a 20-square-meter pool in an event that promotes fair play, citizenship and solidarity and aims to awaken attention to the practice of synergies between clubs, institutions and companies that promote accessibility to sports practice for any type of person. The tournament will begin with a match between athletes from the Minis echelons of the CAB and the Naval Club, followed by a match between two teams of known guys from the Madeirense society, who agreed to join this solidarity initiative. The entrance is clear. ‘An example of Sport at the Service of Causes’ According to Francisco Gomes, president of the CAB,"This event, which is already going to its seventh edition, demonstrates the strength of partnerships and proves that, despite the difficulties that cross-borderly affect all sports institutions, there is always creativity, will and time to act in the name of solidarity and support those who need it most." For the leader of the CAB, "The water basketball tournament is an example of Sport at the Service of Causes. Because it is an essentially human activity, it makes perfect sense that Sport is focused on improving the human condition and is celebrated as a vector of social mobilization for great values and principles."
