Basketball star Giannis Antetokounmpo is once again joining forces with the ELPIDA Association of Friends of Children with Cancer and its President Mrs. Marianna V. Vardinoyannis
The player for the Milwaukee Bucks, showing his tangible support for the children of “ELPIDA,” as well as his love for young people who want to get involved with basketball, is organising a unique international dunk contest entitled “DunksandDance Charity Event.”
Under the slogan “Give and Rise,” young people from across the globe are invited to post their own video of themselves making a slam dunk on Instagram. The best will be selected by Giannis Antetokounmpo and will be invited to compete live in the “SantAnna DunksandDance Charity Event” which will be held on Saturday, 6 July 2019, at the SantAnna beach club in Mykonos.
A portion of the event’s proceeds will be made available to support the objectives of the “ELPIDA Association of Friends of Children with Cancer”
We thank Giannis Antetokounmpo for his support, Mrs. Vardinoyannis stated: “I would like to say a big thank you to a top international athlete and a source of pride for the our country, as well as for “ELPIDA.” Giannis Antetokounmpo, through his support for our work and for the children who are battling cancer, has proven that, in addition to being a great athlete, he is a human being with unique sensitivity and love for children. I thank him from the bottom of my heart.”
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time Giannis Antetokounmpo has stood at the side of the children of “ELPIDA”: a few month ago he enthusiastically participated, while in the U.S., in the Association’s large-scale campaign related to childhood cancer.
