The Andorran Basketball Federation (FAB) has handed over a €3,898 cheque to Càritas Andorrana, the sum raised through a FIBA Foundation programme linked to points scored during this summer’s FIBA EuroBasket U18 Women Division C held in Andorra. Local reports describe the initiative variously as the FIBA Foundation’s “Basketball For Good” programme or as the FIBA Youth Leadership scheme; the total includes both points-related proceeds and direct contributions.
MoraBanc doubled the amount collected, amplifying the donation; the bank was represented at the presentation by Alfred Mer. The FAB president formally presented the cheque to the president of Càritas Andorrana at the handover ceremony.
FAB said the funds will be used to reinforce the social assistance Càritas provides to vulnerable families and to support social projects in the country. The federation thanked all organisations involved and framed the initiative as an example of Andorran sport’s commitment to the local community beyond the sporting arena.
