BGaming raises €200,000 for DAR Bjorn with its second annual Charity Gala
Industry leaders and the local community united in Malta for an evening of meaningful impact.
Press release.- BGaming has announced the success of its second Charity Gala, held at The Phoenicia Malta on May 29 in support of DAR Bjorn. Bringing together more than 400 guests from across the igaming industry, the local business community, and Maltese society, the event raised over €200,000 for the neurological home and the people it supports.
DAR Bjorn is Malta’s neurological home, providing care and support for people living with ALS, MS, and other severe neurological conditions. Founded by a former igaming professional following his ALS diagnosis at the age of 28, the organisation now cares for 60 residents while supporting more than 800 people throughout the country.
The funds raised by this year’s event will go directly towards equipping DAR Bjorn’s new Respite Centre with essential medical care and equipment. As part of its ongoing commitment to DAR Bjorn, BGaming is dedicating all money raised to the cause, with the studio covering the event’s operating costs.
One of the meaningful parts of this year’s initiative was a special merchandise collection co-created by Portuguese street artist Gonçalo MAR and residents of DAR Bjorn. Inspired by their stories and creative contributions, the collection gave them the opportunity to become active participants in the project. The merchandise was first unveiled at NEXT Summit Valletta and later made available online in exchange for donations. The initiative raised €5,000 for DAR Bjorn, extending the Gala’s impact beyond a single evening.
BGaming would like to extend its sincerest thanks to all partners whose generosity and support made this year’s Charity Gala possible, including NEXT.io, which was an official media partner for the event.
MyAffiliates were the event’s Golden Partner, while 1spin4win, Finteq Hub, Amusnet Gaming and TaDa Gaming were Bronze Partners. Supporting Partners included Flutter International, Alea, SiGMA, Focus Gaming News, The Phoenicia Malta, Booming Games, Internet Vikings, Behind the Gloves, EGT Digital and SWAG42.
Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO at BGaming, said, “The impact of this evening goes far beyond fundraising. It helps improve the lives of people at DAR Bjorn, but it also reminds all of us that we have the ability to create meaningful change when we work together.”
Maria Formosa, said, “Charity Gala by BGaming showed the extraordinary impact that can be achieved when the gaming industry unites behind a meaningful cause.”
