The Basketball team of Special Olympics Hellas visited the training courts at O.A.K.A. and they practiced with assistant coach of Panathinaikos BC OPAP, Diamantis Panagiotopoulos. After the end of the last training session for this year, certain sponsors of the team (Superfoods, Adidas, Chipita, 3E, viva.gr) distributed gifts to the members of the Basketball team of Special Olympics Hellas.
Diamantis Panagiotopoulos stated: "It is a great honour for Panathinaikos and the club we represent, to participate in this program. Sport is not just victories and defeats. The most important element is the contribution to our society. I think these initiatives offer joy and strength to the people who are trying to improve their daily lives. We should all support these efforts to go one step forward as a society and as people."
The One Team Ambassador, of Panathinaikos BC OPAP, James Gist said: "I am very happy and proud that my team, Panathinaikos, participates in Euroleague's Corporate Social Responsibility programme "Basketball is Everywhere" for 5th consecutive year. I would like to congratulate all those who participated in the program this year and all those who worked hard. I hope that the program will continue next season. Congratulations to everybody."
