In 2018, through a number of targeted initiatives, the Alexandrion Foundation donated more than 100,000 balls for a range of sports, from handball and football to rugby, basketball and volleyball. A great many sports associations and clubs, both in rural areas and in cities such as Timișoara, Ploiești, Craiova, Cluj and Iași, benefited from this initiative, carried out under the name “Balls for Supporters”.
The Alexandrion Foundation and Alexandrion Group continued in 2018 to collaborate with various clubs in Romanian sport. In football, the partners were Universitatea Craiova, ASU Politehnica Timișoara and Petrolul Ploiești. Handball, rugby and water polo were supported through the collaboration with the Steaua Sports Club, while the Sibiu Cycling Tour and the Victor Hănescu Tennis Academy were supported for the respective sports disciplines.
In 2018 there were more than 200 initiatives dedicated to supporting sport in Romania, with the Alexandrion Trophies Gala, which reached its third edition in 2018 and is dedicated to financially rewarding the best athletes in Romania, being just one example. On 7 February 2019 comes the fourth edition of this Gala, the only private initiative of such scale dedicated to Romanian sport and to the best results of athletes in the current year.
