The current edition of the charitable event Stars for Children was completed during the half-time break of the Saturday’s league match against MFK Košice. This year’s yield has reached a record amount of 12.138 €. In the last three years, AS Trenčín in cooperation with its partners helped to raise more than 25.000 euros for charitable purposes.
The event took place in June, for the first time in the main square in Trenčín downtown. The fans could see Sovak and Czech football and hockey stars – Martin Škrtel, Marek Hamšík, Stanislav Šesták, Juraj Kucka, Tomáš Galásek, Filip Hološko, Marián Hossa, Marián Gáborík, Ľubomír Višňovský, and Jaroslav Halák as well as the home team of AS Trenčín, and the football team of Slovak show business stars from Mufuza (the Team of Football Wonders). Pavol Demitra took place as well similarly to the previous two years.
„Atmosphere was excellent. Estimated attendance was 5.000 people. There were mostly children who could be unusually close to their sport idols. The biggest success was however the yield of the event. It’s a big commitment for us. It’s going to be very difficult to raise more in the future. We believe however that with the help of our partners, we’ll be able to bring happiness where it’s most necessary also in the future,“ said one of the founders of the event and marketing manager of AS Trenčín Igor Schlesinger.
