2016 Gortat Camp in Washington D.C. — Sokołów supports young basketball players

Exceptional Gortat Camp in the USA. This time, the winners of all Polish Camps were invited by the NBA player Marcin Gortat to visit Washington D.C. The Sokołów Group was a partner of the whole event and accompanied the kids during their stay in the United States.

Sokołów S.A. — a leader of the Polish meat industry — supports actions promoting healthy lifestyle. Children and youth are a group for which such activities are particularly important — overweight and obesity among students have become a serious social problem, and the statistics worsen from year to year.

Sokołów has been actively involved in the organization of the Marcin Gortat Camp for many years. This time, kids who won the summer Polish Camps, were invited to Washington by Marcin Gortat. There, they had a chance to test themselves on the court against their American counterparts. The whole event was supported by the Sokołów Group, which among other things donated products that were met with enthusiasm by young American adepts of basketball.

We are giving them a piece of our culture — not just basketball, but also our relationships, better food, better flavours. It would be impossible without our partners. We have a great financial and organisational support in Poland. Thanks to Sokołów we can feed the kids after each camp, and this matters a lot to us.  — said Marcin Gortat.

The American GORTAT CAMP was an excellent opportunity to exchange experiences, learn basketball, foreign languages and cultures of other countries. It was the first event of its kind on the other side of the Atlantic. The kids said that their dreams have been fulfilled — and this is perhaps the perfect description of the atmosphere during the whole camp.
