CHARITY PROJECT
The organizers of the ROYAL GOLF SILVER TROPHY – VICEVERSA
Challenge care about initiatives with charitable aim.
The media coverage ongoing during the days of the event will enable a series
of moments of reflection on clinical and scientific medical research.
The objective is to collect funds to benefit the Fondazione Legato Dino Ferrari,
Sezione “Enzo e Dino Ferrari” of Modena, which for the past twenty-five
years has been engaged in supporting research into the treatment of Muscular
Dystrophy.
The “Enzo e Dino Ferrari” section of the Italian Union for Research
into Muscular Dystrophy (U.I.L.D.M), founded by Enzo Ferrari and by initiative
of patients and their families, officially commenced activity in Modena in 1981
and thereafter became a point of reference for the fight against Muscular Dystrophy
and for the social integration of the disabled.
Thanks to support from the Fondazione Legato Dino Ferrari, to the solidarity
and contributions from individual and collective elements, both public and
private, it now stands as a real point of reference for many persons, whether
dystrophic or not. The Fondazione Legato Dino Ferrari was originally set up
by Enzo Ferrari in memory of his son Dino who died in 1956 of a serious form
of muscular dystrophy.
As a charitable body, its aim is to promote research into the diagnosis and
genetics of muscular dystrophy and to support initiatives for assistance
to persons suffering from this disease.
