The ACF Fiorentina is
dedicating two regular-season Serie A games to raise funds for the
Every One campaign of Save the Children, which has as the goal saving
the lives of 500,000 children a year in 38 countries by 2015.
According to Save the
Children, every year, some 8 million children under the age of five
die from preventable and curable illnesses. The funds raised during
the Fiorentina games will be used to purchase vaccines, antibiotics
and window screens.
The campaign opened during
the home game against Catania on October 22 and will continue on
October 30 against Genoa. To donate, send a text message or call
45509 by November 6; see also Violachannel.tv for more information.
