Panormus Guys
A story to tellNicolino’s dream gave birth to the fairy tale “The Guys of Panormus”, which has become today a beautiful reality to tell and live.
For the second consecutive year, the Cooperative supports the activity of the basketball team in wheelchair ‘ ‘OSA I Ragazzi di Panormus’, a Palermo club playing in the FIPIC Serie B championship and in the youth championship reserved for the Under 16 category.
A project that combines sport, solidarity and integration and that stems from the desire of Nicola Arrisicato, 15 years old assisted by the ADI service that OSA provides in Palermo, to play a basketball championship with his friends and that today is also able to guarantee various players to the national basketball teams in wheelchairs. Of particular importance was the convening of the 15-year-old athlete Cristian Gandolfo in the Under 22 national team in 2019 who won a silver medal at the European Para Youth Games in Finland. Christian’s sporting success was crowned with the emotion of a ceremony in the Hall of Mirrors of the Quirinal with the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, together with a large representation of Italian athletes returning from prestigious international events.
