Petrolina, the Cypriot Petroleum Company, is one of the mega-sponsors of the newly formed Charity – Voluntary Footballers Association, named ‘Goal in Life’.

Petrolina, having always been actively involved in philanthropy during the past decades, has recently chosen to support the newly formed organisation ‘Goal in life’ to strengthen vulnerable groups of the Cyprus community, thus enlarging even further the social contribution of the company.

The purpose of the association ‘Goal in Life’ is to financially assist all socially vulnerable groups by giving a powerful message to everyone that footballers are united and ready for productive and helpful social action.

The official presentation ceremony of the association was held at the Presidential House on May 15, in the presence of Mr Nicos Anasasiades, President of Cyprus and other government and sports officials.  Mr Dinos Lefkaritis, Executive Finance Director, Ms Georgia Lefkariti, Director and Mr Demetris Lefkaritis, Executive Director, represented Petrolina to the event and received an honorary plaque for the commitment of support of the company to the newly formed association. 

Mr Dinos Lefkaritis stated during the presentation that we have decided to support this Charity – Voluntary Association because we both share the same vision which is to strengthen vulnerable groups of the Cyprus community, thus sending out a message that football and Cypriot entrepreneurship can offer a lot more than just athletic spectacles, as it is accustomed.’

It is important to state here that ‘Goal in life’ already has the support of UEFA, through UEFA Foundation for Children.

A series of events and actions have already been scheduled by ‘Goal in Life’ for the remaining of 2017, with the highlight being the Football All Star Game in December.  Petrolina will mark her presence at the upcoming events by offering financial support, volunteering teams and by enriching the events in every way possible.
