Last spring, Rytas Vilnius launched the new campaign Together Against All, which aims to unite the capital\u2019s club organization, players, and fans not only inside the arena but also beyond it. The initiative seeks to consistently bring various social issues to the public\u2019s attention and contribute to solving them.<\/p>\n
On October 10, marking Homelessness Day and the beginning of the cold season, the club decided to dedicate the entire month to this group of people. This Wednesday, members of the capital\u2019s organization will visit the Betanija canteen to contribute to the activities of the Vilnius Archdiocese Caritas.<\/p>\n
“Often, buried in our daily worries, we forget that among us there are many people whose lives have not been easy,” said the club\u2019s director Jaroslav Latu\u0161inskij. “That\u2019s why it is our duty as a society to care for such people. It\u2019s no coincidence that society is judged by how it treats its weakest members. With this thought and motivation, we will go to volunteer at the Caritas social center Betanija, which helps 300\u2013500 people in need every day.”<\/p>\n
The action will involve not only Rytas players, coaches, and administrative staff but also Kibirk\u0161tis players, youth team members, and the Rytas Dance Team dancers.<\/p>\n
“There was no need to persuade anyone \u2013 as soon as we announced our plans, plenty of people wanted to join. Only by staying united can we overcome difficulties and create meaningful change in our society. Through our example, we aim to inspire our fans, whom we will invite to take part in various social initiatives throughout October,” added J. Latu\u0161inskij.<\/p>\n
