Gruppo Lombardo Giornalisti Sportivi INVITO (valido per due persone) 30 novembre 2009 - ore 18 Centro Eventi Campari viale Gramsci 141 - Sesto San Giovanni PREMIO NAZIONALE SPORT-CULTURA-PROFESSIONI-SOLIDARIETA’ Lunedì 30 novembre 2009 alle ore 18 presso il Centro Eventi Campari, viale Gramsci 141 a Sesto San Giovanni, saranno consegnati gli annuali riconoscimenti del Premio Nazionale «La Torretta», giunto alla sua trentaseiesima edizione. Il Premio, presieduto da Bruno Pizzul, si avvale del contributo dell’Amministrazione Comunale e dell’appassionato impegno dei componenti il Comitato Promotore, i quali comprendono prestigiosi nomi di aziende, imprenditori, commercianti e professionisti. Obiettivo del premio non è solo quello di offrire un riconoscimento ai campioni dello sport, ma anche quello di evidenziare il troppo spesso oscuro lavoro di quegli atleti che, pur non praticando una disciplina sportiva popolare, hanno dedicato la loro vita e il loro entusiasmo agli sport minori, nobilitandone il ruolo e favorendone la diffusione. Il «Torretta» non si ferma allo sport perché premia, inoltre, persone che si sono distinte nella cultura, nelle professioni, nella solidarietà, per la qualità, la creatività, la capacità innovativa, l’umanità e il senso civico della loro opera. Anche per questo la manifestazione ha avuto ampi riconoscimenti a tutti i livelli istituzionali, a partire dalla Presidenza della Repubblica. Nell’ambito della manifestazione verrà assegnato il Trofeo «Atleta dell’Anno», in collaborazione con Telelombardia, Antenna 3.
