Associazione Veronica Sacchi ODV
🎉 Run with Us for 25 Years of Smiles
In 2026, Associazione Veronica Sacchi ODV turns 25.
Twenty‑five years of laughter, emotions, red noses, unforgettable encounters, training, empathy, hospitals, nursing homes, foster homes, squares, schools and… kilometres of humanity.
And there is no better way to celebrate this milestone than running together at the Milano Marathon 2026, right in the month when everything began.
A run that is both symbolic and concrete:
– symbolic, because it tells the story of the dedication and passion that have guided us for a quarter of a century;
– concrete, because every step on the course becomes an act of solidarity for both the present and the future.
🧩 Supporting AVS today means helping us to:
- Train new hospital clowns capable of bringing smiles to the most fragile places
- Grow our projects in schools and in paediatric and psychiatric wards
- Bring clown therapy where no one else arrives
- Build a community of young people, volunteers, and active citizens
In 2026 we want to celebrate — but we also want to look ahead.
We want to keep being there. For another 25 years.
With the same spirit of service, playfulness, and love that have brought us this far.
🎯 Help us write the next chapter together.
Support our charity runners, donate to our campaign, involve friends and colleagues, run with us…
or simply help us keep going.
AVS – The Red Nose Volunteers. For 25 years, a smile that heals.
