Marcelinho, Shilton and Olivinha, players of Flabasquete, were present at the Gávea social headquarters, this Thursday (27.06), for a meeting with about 40 children from the Juliano Moreira Municipal School. The event was also attended by representatives of Rio Harley-Davidson and Loterj, companies sponsoring the sport at the club, Alexandre Póvoa, vice president of Olympic sports at Flamengo, and Eduardo Bandeira de Mello, president of Rubro-Negro.
"I think it's crucial to always be with the kids so they can get to know our idols. Regarding sponsors, the partnership with Loterj was a success, and we can only be grateful because they were an extremely useful partner in the final stage. Rio Harley-Davidson arrived in the decisive game and was lucky. They helped us financially and brought good vibes to Flamengo," said Bandeira de Mello, president of Flamengo.
The children had the opportunity to chat with the Flamengo athletes. They all listened attentively to the players' lessons, took photos, and chatted with them. Their idol Marcelinho Machado, a two-time Novo Basquete Brasil champion with Flamengo, was the most sought-after and delivered an important message to the students.
"It's great to have you kids here. Pursue your dreams. Today, for example, we celebrate a dream come true. This is the message: pursue your dream, respecting your opponents, coaches, and teachers. This is a good path for your lives. I also thank the sponsors, who are essential for us to work peacefully on the court," said Marcelinho.
Thursday's event took place at the Adidas store. Since last Friday (June 21.06), the main trophies won by the red-and-black basketball team have been on display in front of the store. Harley-Davidson motorcycles are also on display. Admission to the exhibition is free and will be in Gávea until July 05.
