Once again standing alongside scientific research this year to promote a genuine culture of health and prevention, the Castelfranco Veneto leg of Fondazione Umberto Veronesi ETS's 2026 project concluded with significant public turnout. The traveling initiative—dedicated to raising awareness among men and funding scientific research into male cancers—saw FILA Solutions Benefit Corporation play a leading role as Local Main Partner. On Saturday, August 29, the main square of Castelfranco Veneto (Piazza Giorgione) and the Cà Amata Golf Club became the vibrant heart of the event, offering citizens a tangible opportunity for information, prevention, and research support.

Medical consultations and local activities From 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Piazza Giorgione, citizens were able to take advantage of free consultations with a urologist. Accompanying the initiative in the city center was also a fun mini-golf course set up at the booth, which helped gather donations in support of Fondazione Veronesi's research. In parallel, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Cà Amata Golf Club, enthusiasts took part in the Fondazione Veronesi Trophy, a special opportunity to combine sport, solidarity, and health.

A commitment that starts from within Support for the 2026 Project confirms FILA Solutions' deep commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and personal care. It is a commitment that the company applies both externally and toward its own team: once again this year, all male and female employees were given the opportunity to undergo a cardiological screening (ECG) with specialized medical staff. For women, diagnostic visits and exams (breast ultrasounds and mammograms) were organized for breast cancer prevention, while dedicated urological consultations were scheduled for men.

In the words of Francesco Pettenon "Prevention is a core value that has always guided our commitment," states Francesco Pettenon, CEO of FILA Solutions. "The collaboration with Fondazione Umberto Veronesi represents a concrete expression of our responsibility toward people and the local region. The Castelfranco Veneto stop holds important meaning for us: being able to support such a high-profile initiative in a territory that we feel is part of our identity strengthens our connection with the community and demonstrates our desire to give back value to the places where we grew up and operate every day. After supporting initiatives dedicated to breast cancer prevention over the years, we are confirming our support again this year for the project dedicated to men’s health, convinced that scientific research, information, and early diagnosis are essential tools for building a culture of prevention and generating lasting benefits for the community."
