A collection with a precise destination

On Saturday, October 17, Ambrì-Piotta fans will be at the centre of a public event in the tent in front of the Gottardo Arena. The initiative has been designed to raise the funds needed to finance the purchase of Hcap shares and to make supporters protagonists of the future of the Hockey Club Ambrì Piotta.

The economic point of the proposal is defined in the announcement: the entire amount collected will be converted into company shares. The destination of the collection is therefore linked to the purchase of Hcap shares, according to a formula presented as ambitious and concrete.

The project is accompanied by the hope that the initiative can provide the club with solid and community foundations to invest in the future. The day in the tent represents the public moment indicated to support this objective and to bring the white‑and‑blue world together around the club.

The reference to every franc collected defines the destination of the mobilisation. The text indeed links the collection to the transformation of money into shares and to the possibility for fans to participate in Hcap’s future as shareholders.

The source places the appointment in the tent in front of the Gottardo Arena. This is the space indicated for the public event, while the programme continues from the afternoon, through the match, to the evening party.

The open nature of the initiative and its share‑holding purpose are therefore the two elements declared in the news. On one hand there is the public meeting on October 17; on the other, the fundraising needed to buy shares in the club. The message addressed to supporters is to become protagonists of Ambrì‑Piotta’s future.

Operational details

The project comes from the biancoblù community

The press release and the organizers

The press release outlining the reasons for the mobilization is signed by Luca Dattrino, a journalist, writer and teacher who has already authored books dedicated to the Leventine club. His signature accompanies the presentation of the initiative and its objective, defined as ambitious and concrete.

In the text, the mobilization is described as having sprung from the very heart of the biancoblù community. The hope expressed is that the club can receive solid, community-based foundations on which to invest in the future. These are the words used to explain the value attributed to the initiative.

The press release also defines the collective nature of the participation. It does so by naming the groups and people who care about the team:

The grassroots initiative brings together everyone who cares about Ambrì-Piotta: Gioventù biancoblù, Gruppo di sostegno, Interclub, Donatoren, Curva Sud, fans and enthusiasts.

The same sentence places Gioventù biancoblù, Gruppo di sostegno, Interclub, Donatoren and Curva Sud alongside fans and enthusiasts. In the press release, these names make up the base from which the mobilization arises and indicate the scope of participation around Ambrì-Piotta.

The reference to grassroots origins therefore accompanies the list of groups involved. The source presents the initiative as a meeting point between organized groups and individual supporters, all united by their attention to the biancoblù colors. The community dimension is not separate from the stated objective: to provide the club with solid foundations on which to invest in the future.

Luca Dattrino’s role is to set out the reasons for the mobilization through the press release. His experience as a journalist, writer and teacher, together with the books dedicated to the Leventine club, supports the explanation of the initiative. The text thus gives a public form to a fundraiser presented as having sprung from the grassroots and supported by the entire biancoblù community.

Key points

The event program

From bingo to the party

The program spreads the activities across the afternoon, evening and night. The day begins with a super bingo and continues with the aperitif, dinner, the match and the closing party.

The match against Ginevra Servette will start at 19.45 and will also be screened on a giant screen inside the warehouse. After the match, the evening will continue until 2 with music from the 70s, 80s and 90s, a refreshment stand and food offerings.

The program also includes appearances by the first-team players. The former greats who once honored the blue-and-white colors will already be there from early afternoon, thus joining the event activities even before the start of the match.

Throughout the day, commemorative scarves will be on sale for 10 francs. The sale is listed among the event’s activities, alongside bingo, the aperitif, dinner and the musical evening.

On the lawn in front of the rink, visitors will be able to admire Ghiaccio Fuoco, the monumental work by artist Ivan Tresoldi. The composition brings together and interweaves ninety words representing the blue-and-white identity. The presentation describes it as a unique work, worth seeing during the day.

With organized activities, a screened match, appearances by the first team and former greats, the schedule takes the event from early afternoon to the nighttime party. All the times and offerings listed are part of the program announced for Saturday, October 17.
