Support for the Casa do Ancião solidarity project
THE BRAZIL THAT SHARES
Our roots, our commitment
Solidarity is part of our story. In Brazil, we organised a day of celebration for children in need, bringing toys, sweets and plenty of joy from door to door. Cores do Brasil Ticino was born from this spirit: celebrating Brazilian culture and turning every event into an opportunity to help those who need it most.
Delivery to Casa do Ancião
OUR CAUSE: CASA DO ANCIÃO
Part of the proceeds from our events goes to Casa do Ancião Santo Antônio de Pádua in Quixeramobim (Ceará), which cares for older people. We have already delivered gifts, soft toys, personal hygiene and cleaning products, and we will continue to do so together with our members and partners.
