Fifty-five years of commitment, solidarity, and love for giving . Avis La Maddalena celebrated its important anniversary last Sunday, October 5th, together with the Municipal Administration, the Navy, the Coast Guard, the Regional Avis, and the municipal and provincial branches of Gallura, Fonni, and Sassari. It was a day of celebration and emotion, enriched by the memory of former presidents and a touching tribute to Dario Annunziata, the unforgettable president who passed away in 2023, whose example continues to inspire volunteers.
During the ceremony , the most regular donors were awarded and a publication, created by Pasquale and Clara Annunziata, was presented , which tells the history of the association from 1970 to today.
A surprise call also arrived live from Avis national president Oscar Bianchi, demonstrating the support of the entire association network.
"An important milestone, the fruit of commitment and love for giving," declared Roberta Zedde, president of Avis Provinciale Gallura, who presented a commemorative plaque to the Maddalena section.
In recent months, Avis La Maddalena has confirmed its vitality on the island: in September, 50 blood bags were donated, both from the civilian and military communities. This result demonstrates, once again, the island chapter's activism in raising awareness and organizing blood drives, and the strong sense of solidarity and compassion on the island. The next blood drives are scheduled for October 14th and 23rd.
