Throughout the month of December, the stations Cyprus, Lepanto, Bologna, and Polyclinic will welcome Telethon operators engaged in fundraising and donations by sms to the number 45501. For the occasion, the Cipro station of Metro A has been renamed Cipro-Telethon and branded with the awareness campaign “#nonmiarrendo”.

Other initiatives. Personalized public transportation maps with the fundraising campaign will be distributed at the Termini welcome desk. On Dec. 19 and 20 in the Cyprus-Telethon, Lepanto, Bologna and Policlinico metro stations, it will be possible to buy “Telethon Chocolate Hearts”. Proceeds will be used to support research.

Telethon “Chocolate Hearts” will also be distributed at Atac locations. During the week of Dec. 13-20, in conjunction with the RAI television marathon, Atac front-end staff will wear Telethon research scarves.
