Valencia CF and Chicago Bears join forces to address effects of DANA

The collaboration between Valencia CF and the Chicago Bears continued last week with a visit to the towns of Aldaia and Sedaví -areas seriously affected by the DANA tragedy last year.

During the event, Valencia CF ambassador, Miguel Ángel Bossio, Aldaia Sports Councilor, José Francisco Martínez, and the Mayor of Sedaví, Josep Francesc Cabanes, explained to the Chicago Bears representatives the problems caused by the natural disaster.

“It was a pleasure to see the kindness and enthusiasm with which they came here to learn about everything that had happened. It's very important that a team from the United States has come here,” Bossio said.

Together, they looked at the facilities of the partner schools. “It's not easy to deal with when you're used to something and, suddenly, you're forced to change your environment, change your daily life, and everyone's circumstances are different. This puts you in a difficult situation as a child and as a family. Seeing all the help they received from the community was, without a doubt, a great show of support. It's not easy for people to be encouraged to change something or to recover something. People did it out of pure kindness. The opportunity it gives the children is a positive thing. It's something I will definitely always want to support,” explained Chicago Bears captain Tremaine Edmunds.
