Special solidarity action
The Luxembourg Basketball Federation is pleased to announce that it is organizing a solidarity action during the next international match of the men’s national team against Romania, which will take place on November 24th, 2024 at the Coque in Kirchberg.
–> The objective of this initiative is to offer a Christmas gift to each child.
–> To participate, we invite each spectator to bring a stuffed animal.
–> A collective throw of these soft toys will take place a few minutes after half-time, with a signal given by our announcer and a countdown.
The collected stuffed toys will then be given to the Luxembourg « Croix Rouge » to be redistributed to children in need.
