Brera Holdings PLC ("Brera Holdings" or the "Company", Nasdaq:
BREA) announced that Board Member Chris Gardner, who is currently
in Italy for several appearances, on Monday was the special guest
at an event to meet the junior teams of UYBA Volley, an Italian
First Division women’s volleyball club. Held at the Busto
Arsizio e-work Arena near Milan, the UYBA professional team
recently announced the hiring of its new coach Julio Velasco, the
former head coach of the multiwinner Italian Men’s National Team.
The event, organized by Edimen Media Company and Brera Milano,
was an engaging speech where Gardner went through his personal and
professional experience, followed by a Q&A session, and saw the
participation of over one hundred guests, including the mayor of
Busto Arsizio Emanuele Antonelli and EU Parliament member Isabella
Tovaglieri.
“It was a very important evening for UYBA: Chris Gardner's
speech was illuminating for adults but above all for the young
players who have sent us many messages of gratitude for this event.
I also want to thank Edimen for this partnership and Brera, with
whom we share ethical principles in the world of sport, and with
which we hope to continue to collaborate in the future,” said UYBA
General Manager Mattia Moro.
“A partnership with UYBA Volley, as was the case with this
event, allows us to explore new and interesting areas of sport, in
addition to football,” said Brera Holdings Chief Strategy Officer
Alessandro Aleotti, the Founder of Brera FC, “The Third Football
Team of Milan.”
“Always be world class at whatever you do,” implored Chris
Gardner to the two junior UYBA teams present. “Don’t let anyone
tell you that you can’t do something,” he continued. In a
Q&A session he was asked about how he overcame homelessness and
business failure only to emerge stronger and more dedicated to
helping others, especially youth.
Entrepreneur 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.
