"It's a great pleasure for us to be here today presenting this award. Especially knowing that this relationship has been built for some time. From the beginning, when we started in 2018... Being here now with this amazing result really shows Flamengo's commitment off the field, in the social sphere. And being an example off the field. Today, we are delighted to present this award. And it's very important that this becomes an example for other clubs to adopt the same approach and transform sport into a true tool for social transformation," concluded André Georges, founder of the platform.
