ASSOCIAZIONE FORZA ERIKA! ONLUS

Erika suffers from the Arnold-Chiari syndrome, a rare malformation of the posterior cranial fossa. Her treatment will involve brain surgery to be carried out in the US, the results of which will be decisive for her future. The surgery is an extremely expensive procedure that neither Erika nor her family can afford. This resulted in the launch of a full-scale solidarity campaign in which the Bologna association of bakers, fans of Bologna Football Club - Curva Andrea Costa and Centro Bologna Club joined forces to organise “Su le mani per Erika!” (hold up your hands for Erika), a fund-raising initiative carried out during the Bologna-Juventus match played in the Dall’Ara stadium, where stands were set up to sell ‘Bomboloni per Erika’ doughnuts. Marchesini Group’s contribution was added to the funds supporting this solidarity drive.
