If 2024 was a year full of satisfactions, 2025
promises to be no less.
I have been CEO of PPC since last June and I have
fully immersed myself in this role: only now have I understood how many things
our company really does, always alongside Parma Calcio and in the territory. We
have organized events for members and tried to bring as many people as possible
closer to Parma, both men's and women's, and this will also be the goal of the
year that just begun: there are many ideas that we have in mind and that we
cannot reveal but 2025 is a milestone for PPC, as it marks the tenth
anniversary of its foundation.
Ten years is a very long time for a company like ours,
born as a challenge and revealed to be successful, but now is the time to
prepare ourselves with the celebrations: the most important moment, the event
for the tenth anniversary of PPC, as mentioned, is still in the works but I can
only anticipate that the commitment is maximum and the result will be there for
all to see. The tenth anniversary event will be the icing on the cake of a year
that will see the consolidation of the “historic” and always welcome events,
such as the stadium tour, during which the vice president Franco Bardiani leads
the members to the most secret places of the Tardini, or the end-of-season
party, which we will see, depending on Parma's events, whether to hold in May
or July, with the start of the retreat, but which always attracts a large
number of members. To all this, we will add a look at the Crociati women's
team, to which we are always very close and which we often involve in our
events, and a conference on the combination of health and sport, suggested by
the vice president Mariavittoria Grassi. I was not wrong, therefore, in saying
that we have busy but rewarding months ahead of us!
And, then, I will never forget to say it, we are open
to listening to all the PPC members, with their ideas and their precious
suggestions: from them too, often, intuitions arise that then turn into
reality. Obviously, I proudly underline that all this can be achieved also
thanks to Parma Calcio, who knows us and appreciates both our willpower and the
spirit of sharing that distinguishes us.
So, to conclude, I invite all members to be ready and
free for the numerous commitments, to bring as many friends as possible to PPC
through our initiatives and to continue to support Parma Calcio because, in the
end, we also said it in 2015 when we started again from Serie D ... We are
Parma, we are Parma and Parma, we are PPC and we must be proud of it, especially
now that we can celebrate ten years of life.
