May 15 2023 - 8:45AM
Brera Holdings PLC ("Brera Holdings" or the "Company", Nasdaq:
BREA) announced that Board Member Chris Gardner has arrived in
Italy to attend several meetings and major events this week.
Enterpreneur and author of the New York Times bestseller The
Pursuit of HappYness, his autobiography that inspired the movie
starring Will Smith and directed by Gabriele Muccino, Chris Gardner
is deeply engaged in the activity of, “The Christopher P. Gardner
Foundation,” which works to change the lives of young people.
His intense Italian agenda will start today, May 15, at the
Busto Arsizio e-work Arena, near Milan, to meet the junior team of
UYBA Volley, an Italian First Division women’s volleyball club that
recently announced the hiring of its new coach Julio Velasco, who
is the former head coach of the multiwinner Italian Men’s National
Team. Gardner will host a Q&A session with the junior team and
present his personal and professional experience.
On May 16, Gardner will attend the second leg football match of
the prestigious Champions League semifinal between FC Inter and AC
Milan. He will be hosted by Goran Pandev, also a Brera Holdings
Board Member and former star FC Inter player, who was part of the
team that won the 2010 legendary “Triplete.” The match takes
place at iconic San Siro Stadium, which will host the final of
Brera’s FENIX Trophy tournament on June 8, 2023.
On the evening of May 17 Gardner will symbolically kick-off the
FENIX Trophy group stage match pitting Brera Milano vs FK
Miljakovic Belgrad at the Arena Civica Stadium. The FENIX Trophy
brings together nine non-professional European football clubs
chosen for their exceptional social, historical and cultural
distinctiveness. The BBC has referred to it as, “the Champions
League for amateurs.”
On May 18, Gardner will attend the Tech.Emotion Conference and
Dinner Gala. Tech.Emotion is the first international summit
organized by Emotion Network and leading Italian newspaper Corriere
della Sera, held at the Milan Stock Exchange, and matches
technology and emotions aiming to unleash the full human
potential.
On May 19, Gardner will be the special guest at the Canadian
School of Milan for a Q&A session and a book signing of his
most recent work Permission to Dream. The event takes its cue from
his “Back2School” tour, which has seen him speak at 1,000 public
schools all across the United States.
“A Cocktail with Chris Gardner” organized by Brera Milano, and
scheduled the same day at 6 p.m. at Centro Internazionale Brera,
will end the week as the final event encapsulating the world of
Brera.
More meetings and events are on the way.

about Chris Gardner’s visit to Italy, “This trip is very important.
Chris Gardner is an inspiring and prestigious member of our Board
and an extraordinary ambassador of our leading principles. His
experiences will be motivational for all the people who will meet
him during his Italian week."
