Efforts to promote organ, tissue, and cell donation awareness are being conducted through community events and sports partnerships in Italy.

In Carpi, the third ‘Grazie Arianna’ Memorial is scheduled for November 2026 to honor Arianna Giaroli, whose organ donation following a 2024 accident impacted seven lives. Organized with the Italian Association for Organ Donation (AIDO), the event utilizes sport, music, and art to foster a culture of donation and will introduce the ‘Premio Arianna’ to recognize altruism.

In Cremona, Polisportiva S. Ilario ASD and Aido Cremona OdV have entered a three-year agreement to promote donation and healthy lifestyles. This partnership includes the introduction of new competition kits for Under-15 athletes featuring a red ‘Sì’ (Yes) to symbolize a commitment to life and social responsibility.
