In another edition of "Nação no Maraca," Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, represented by its Social Responsibility department, brought 700 people to the stadium last Saturday (30). On the field, a 1-0 victory over Bahia; in the stands, ten social projects, in addition to outsourced club employees, were included in the initiative. Among the projects selected to attend the game at Maracanã, 50 tickets were donated to "Marque esse gol," an initiative that seeks to prevent breast cancer and support patients not only during Pink October, but throughout the year. In addition to attending the game, the group took a tour before the match and entered the field with a banner about the theme, kicking off awareness month.


"Being at Maracanã is always a moment of great joy, but knowing that we're there to raise awareness about breast cancer to so many people and to be welcomed by the fans with such love is inexplicable. Thank you, Flamengo, for always being so welcoming," said Nátali de Araújo, creator of the "Score That Goal" project.



The last “Nation at Maraca” also included institutions such as Rio Em Forma, Mães da Gávea, Sim, Eu Sou do Meio, Ourinhos do Cruzeiro, New Generation Space, Menina Mulher da Mangueira Association - Atelier das Palavras, Instituto Sempre em Movimento, Espaço Recriando, Municipal Secretariat for People with Disabilities of Búzios and the Bem-Viver Child and Youth Shelter Unit. 


"Nação no Maraca has been changing our lives. My eternal gratitude to Flamengo for giving us the opportunity to take children who have never been to Maracanã," commented Leonardo, from Ourinhos do Cruzeiro. Isabelle, mother of Miguel and Jorge, 5, from the Sou Mais Ser do Bem project, also thanked the club. “Thank you for making the mother and children’s dream come true for the first time at Maracanã,” said Ana, from Espaço Recriando. "I'd like to thank Flamengo for providing this historic moment in each student's life. For many of them, it was their first time at Maracanã, and we were lucky," he said.


"Nação no Maraca," part of Flamengo's Social Inclusion Agenda, has already distributed more than 6.350 tickets to groups such as public school students, social projects, indigenous people, refugees, and the homeless. Last year alone, 114 institutions benefited from the club's initiative.
