Donation by Mario Moretti Polegato and his son Enrico to support the corona virus emergency
Mario and Enrico Moretti Polegato, presidents of Geox and Diadora, donated one million euros to the Veneto Region to help managing the health emergency caused by the coronavirus.
“In this historic moment of extreme emergency that Italy and Veneto are experiencing, it is our moral duty – says Mario Moretti Polegato – to support our doctors and nurses, working every day at the forefront, in the fight against an invisible yet so fearful enemy which makes us all equal, vulnerable, helpless.
With this donation we also want to express our closeness and our support to all individuals, and their families, who are suffering and fighting against the virus.
We must stand firm and scrupulously respect the restrictions. Only in this way, with a responsible behavior, will we be able to defeat this disease and return to our lives soon. We are facing a severe crisis but I am sure that we will rise again, stronger than before ”.
