The solidarity path of the Calendario Perazza project, promoted by the Treviso-based communication agency Perazza srl, continues in 2025. The eighth edition raised 32,734 euros to support activities in favor of children being treated at the IOV – Veneto Oncology Institute and at the pediatrics department of the Ca’ Foncello Hospital in Treviso . The sum, divided equally between the two structures, was officially delivered during an event hosted as usual at the headquarters of the Consortium for the protection of DOC Prosecco, the main sponsor of the initiative.
The calendar, created thanks to the participation of athletes from Benetton Rugby, Nutribullet Treviso Basket and Prosecco DOC Imoco Volley, has seen a new collaboration this year with ENPA – National Animal Protection Agency Treviso section. The photographs, in fact, portrayed the protagonists of Treviso sport together with dogs and cats. Some athletes directly involved their four-legged friends, others posed with animals from the facilities managed by ENPA Treviso. In this way, Calendario Perazza wanted to launch a message of awareness on conscious adoption.
Starting last December, the calendar was sold online and distributed at stadiums and arenas, involving fans, families, sports enthusiasts and citizens. The response was, once again, very positive. In addition to the Consortium for the Protection of the Prosecco DOC as main sponsor, Volksbank as a financial partner, DebbyLine as a logistics partner and Imoco Group, L’Artegrafica, Mega Production, WOC, So Treviso and Sorelle Ramonda as technical sponsors also supported the project. The Municipality of Treviso has also granted official patronage to the initiative for this edition.
“Year after year, our project grows not only in numbers but also in the involvement of local realities,” says Riccardo Perazza, owner of Perazza srl. “This time we wanted to extend our message of solidarity by promoting the conscious adoption of animals: a novelty that was welcomed with enthusiasm. I thank the teams, partners, sponsors and all those who have purchased the calendar: it is thanks to everyone’s contribution that we can continue to do our part for a solidarity project in which we believe very much” .
The cheque delivery ceremony was attended by representatives of the Municipality of Treviso, beneficiary structures, project sponsors, teams involved and partner companies. The Mayor of Treviso Mario Conte comments: “I would like to express sincere applause for the important amount raised thanks to the Perazza 2025 calendar: a result that demonstrates how sport, art and solidarity can generate positive value for our community. It was (and still is) really nice to see the athletes of the professional teams of our territory, authentic champions, get involved with enthusiasm for a charitable purpose. In addition to aesthetics, we have the passion, talent and sacrifice that distinguish them every day and which is combined with great generosity, translated into a precious help for ENPA and for those who take care of animals in need. Treviso is a city very linked to the aspect of solidarity towards four-legged friends, and I think that this edition of the Perazza Calendar has been able to capture this sensitivity”.
“We are happy to have renewed our support for this initiative which, once again, has brought important results – declares Giancarlo Guidolin, President of the Consortium for the Protection of the Prosecco DOC – The encounter between sport, art, solidarity and, this year, also the presence of animals from ENPA ODV facilities in Treviso, has generated a strong social impact. The generous participation of the athletes and the creative work of Studio Perazza have given life to a calendar that is now a symbol of collective commitment for the good of the community. Heartfelt thanks to all those who took part in this project: a concrete gesture to support the hospitals in our area”.
“Volksbank is supporting this important solidarity initiative for the third year and we are pleased that it is gathering increasing interest. The objective of the action, i.e. to provide concrete help to children being treated at the Veneto Oncology Institute and at the pediatrics department of the Ca’ Foncello Hospital in Treviso, fits perfectly into our commitment to
social sphere, to help the most vulnerable sections of the population”, highlights Vittorio Pucella, Director of the Treviso and Pordenone Area of Volksbank.
Dr. Maria Giuseppina Bonavina, Director General of the IOV-IRCCS, declares: “The Veneto Oncology Institute gratefully recognizes that concrete solidarity has become an essential part of its journey. An example of this is this donation that came through the Perazza Calendar project which combines with the great attention, large and small, that surrounds us and allows us, above all, to finance cancer research. I thank one by one the people who have supported this initiative: the company, the sponsors, the associations, the institutions, the sportsmen and all those who with this commitment have shown sensitivity towards the objectives of care and assistance to which we have dedicated ourselves for twenty years. Donations like these are essential for the progress of research and I, like all the IOV staff, from the offices of Padua, Schiavonia and Castelfranco Veneto, without distinction, are aware that it is a gesture of deep trust that makes our commitment increasingly motivated”.
“I am truly grateful to Riccardo Perazza and to all those who, year after year, allow the splendid realization of the calendar – is the comment of Francesco Benazzi, General Manager of the ULSS 2 Marca trevigiana – from testimonials to sponsors and individual citizens who buy it, allowing not only to raise funds for projects related to pediatrics, but also to spread a positive message of generosity, raising awareness of important issues every time. We are honored, as ULSS 2, to have been chosen once again as beneficiaries of this artistic and solidarity project; We will not fail to use the funds to increasingly improve the humanization of places and care for young patients” .
Amerino Zatta, President of Benetton Rugby, said: “Once again this year we have participated with conviction in the Calendario Perazza project: a beautiful example of what can happen when sport is put at the service of the community. Being there means for us and for our athletes to contribute, through the visibility of the team, to a concrete goal: to support those who take care of the little ones every day. We thank Perazza srl for involving us once again in an initiative that we feel deeply close to the values of our club”.
Giovanni Favaro, General Manager of Treviso Basket, says: “For us at Treviso Basket it is always an honor to participate in the Parazza Calendar: a project that speaks to people’s hearts and allows us to team up even off the court. This year we felt even more the strength of this initiative, which has been able to embrace new themes such as conscious adoption, keeping concrete help to children being treated at two fundamental realities in the area at the center. We are happy to have made our contribution and proud to be part of a community that, with small gestures, manages to do great things” .
Piero Garbellotto, President of Prosecco DOC Imoco Volley, points out: “Congratulations to Studio Perazza and Riccardo who tirelessly every year with his quality organization realizes what has now become a” must “for fans and sports enthusiasts. We at Prosecco DOC Imoco Volley are proud to lend the image of our team for an important charitable goal, for our champions posing for the Perazza Calendar is always a great pleasure because combining sport and important charitable activities is one of our goals, and we confirm our presence for the future” .
Valentina Perin, regional contact person for Veneto of ENPA ODV, declares: “The Perazza Calendar project manages to unite different sensitivities in a shared message of respect and care: for people, for animals, for the territory.
