GRIDIRON FOR THE FELLOW MAN, RESEARCH THAT CARES
Gridiron for the fellow man is about to start. The initiative aims to give to charity those funds that would usually be given as Christmas gifts. After a lengthy and detailed examination of countless worthy projects and activities spread all over the Country, we chose to commit ourselves to helping research.
To be more precise, we decided to finance a Scholarship in aid of the Oncological Referral Centre in Aviano to “adopt” a researcher who focuses in two projects, internationally considered as the most important. The topics are:
• Biobank of biological samples in patients with cancer
• New early cancer biomarkers
|
The initiative was launched at a special gala night at the City Social Centre in Mareno di Piave on 24th October 2008, where a concert “ Choral Singing” sponsorsored by the local AVIS branch was held.

 |
The concert was given by “Aviano CRO” doctors and by “Voices from Mareno”.
The initiative started some while back, it was announced one year ago and it has since become front page news.
Speaking about the well-known events called Gelmini-Decree, the italian media have focused on explaining the importance of research; writing nine column’s of articles, special documentaries, television programmes dedicated to this topic, and newscasts.
We are proud to have started our initiative before the news broke, since it is now easier for everyone to understand the importance of research financing, which together with training is fundamental to the continuation of human growth and development.
