Flamengo auctions autographed shirts and promotes donations of alcohol and masks for the SOS AM campaign
Partners LBBio, Bemesports, É Campeão store of the Chapadão Complex, Pexlog and Official Stores of Manaus join the club in the action for Amazonas
By Flamengo Communication - inIn light of the recent difficulties faced by the State of Amazonas in combating COVID-19, Flamengo, through its Nação Solidária movement, joined forces with licensed companies, official stores, merchants in the Chapadão Complex, and the logistics company Pexlog to support the SOS AM campaign, which raises funds for the purchase of oxygen.
"All of Brazil is following the latest developments in Amazonas, and Flamengo could not help but use its strength to help, as much as possible, alleviate people's suffering. We thank our partners, who are essential in this effort, and we invite the Red-Black Nation to participate in the auction of autographed jerseys," said Gustavo Oliveira, Flamengo's Vice President of Communications and Marketing.
In addition to the proceeds from the autographed official jerseys being auctioned online, hand sanitizer and protective masks will be distributed to patients awaiting beds, hospitalized patients, and their families. The distribution will be made by the social projects mobilized for the campaign: Salaada Solidário, Borajudar, Amor Sem Caô, Instituto Ágape Manaus, Mais Amor AM, Projeto Social Somar, Instituto Tchibum, NGO Moradia & Cidadania AM, Razões Para Acreditar, GAV Volunteer Support Group, Vidativa, Global Shapers Manaus, Instituto Nossa Jornada, and Voaa.
"Hand sanitizer and masks will be distributed to family members of patients waiting outside hospitals, which are overcrowded. In fact, there are more people outside than inside hospitals because there aren't enough beds for everyone, so people are waiting outside waiting for beds to open up. The distribution will be handled by partner social projects organizing the campaign, at the doors of hospitals and UBSs (Basic Health Units)," said Camila Nascimento, manager of Flamengo's Social Responsibility department.
Check out the details of the actions:
1) Online auction, on the SOLD platform, of three jerseys autographed by players. One Filipe Luis jersey, one Everton Ribeiro jersey and one Rodrigo Caio jersey. Bidding closes on Tuesday (26), at 16 pm, with a minimum bid of R$1.000,00;
