Sigma Group is to renew its commitment as main sponsor to Special Olympics Sweden, thereby continuing to make visible and increase interest in sports for people with intellectual disabilities.
Today, on New Year’s Eve it is five years since the Danir Group launched International Expect a Better Tomorrow Day, an initiative to promote ideas that will contribute to a better future. Next year’s initiative, Heja Klubben!, highlights the invaluable contributions of clubs and associations to Swedish life.
Last year, Sigma and Danir started ‘Funkisfonden’, an initiative to get people with intellectual disabilities to become more active in sports. Now they have taken this commitment further and are now the main sponsor of Special Olympics Sweden. A collaboration that now results in them being involved in Special Olympics School Days.
After launching ‘Funkisfonden’ last year, an initiative to inspire more people with intellectual disabilities to become physically active, Sigma and Danir have expanded their commitment and become the main sponsor of Special Olympics Sweden.
December 2018 was a special month for Sigma Technology Swedish offices. We had the first Sigma Christmas Challenge, our way to make both our bodies and souls feel good. During the challenge, we supported the fundraising event Musikhjälpen arranged as a collaboration between Swedish Radio, Swedish Television, and Radiohjälpen.
The new International Expect a Better Tomorrow Day initiative for 2019 is now official. In launching Funkisfonden (the Special Athletes Fund), Sigma and Danir aim to bring into focus our athletes with disabilities and specifically those with intellectual disabilities; to support them and give them a voice.
This summer, Fredrik Sträng made the Sigma K2 2017 expedition in the endeavor of climbing K2, the second highest and the most dangerous summit in the world. The expedition was interrupted after reaching 7,400 m due to the weather conditions. Fredrik Sträng is not giving up and plans another expedition to K2 in 2018. Sigma Technology remains his sponsor and a dedicated supporter of this project.
