Paralympics? That is not enough! Cimberio's evento to "overcome indifference"
A message of hope and joy to experience what disabled athletes and artists have performed in front of the numerous audience of the Teatro Nuovo of Borgomanero on Friday 5 May for "Paralimpici? Non basta!", the event hosted by Cimberio for its 60th business anniversary. "People to know and to get known" – as recalled by the event title – were the special guests who told their personal sport and life experiences on stage.
Among others was Cimberio Handicap Sport, the wheelchair basketball team supported by Cimberio, paralympic athletes who took part to the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, scoring 33 titles as world champions and 17 Olympic medals, plus various sport associations active on the territory of Novara and VCO, not to mention artists, dancers and painters.
Characters that in a direct and bold way have led the audience into a world of determination and strong will, virtues required to overcome obstacles and architectural barriers along the road to success: a lesson for all on how to face and defeat the difficulties of life.
Roberto Cimberio, the company Managing Director, expressed great satisfaction about the importance of such events: "An exciting and unrepeatable night. I guess these are the only words that can describe what happened here and I strongly believe that good things have to be shared. In a time characterized by social divisions and walls, we wanted to do something different and go against the flow: knock down the walls of indifference by opening a window on a new world, filled with values and love for life. I dream it will never close again.
We struggle to make these words live in our minds and hearts, and wish they will be reflected in small but important daily gestures. Loving life and having it loved by others should be everybody’s mission. I hope the seeds we sowed will find fertile soils to grow and give fruits. Fruits that may turn our territory into a place rich of opportunities".
