One of the longest-standing partners of Rytas Vilnius \u2013 the financial technology company Satchel \u2013 has extended its support agreement with the capital\u2019s club. The company will continue to be one of Rytas\u2019 main sponsors, contributing not only to the organization\u2019s financial well-being but also to strengthening the community beyond the court.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we talk about long-term partnerships, we first emphasize trust and shared values. Sergiy and his team at Satchel have supported the team financially for many years and actively participate in our social initiatives \u2013 this demonstrates the true meaning of friendship,\u201d said Rytas\u2019 director Jaroslav Latu\u0161inskij. \u201cPartners who think broadly and sincerely care about the community\u2019s well-being become a strong pillar of support. Together with them, we can achieve much more \u2013 not only on the basketball court but also in society.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the most notable examples of Rytas\u2019 and Satchel\u2019s cooperation is this year\u2019s social campaign Together Against Exclusion<\/em>. During a special event at the Active Vilnius arena, the entire Rytas team participated, alongside students from Vilnius Verki\u0173 School \u2013 Multifunctional Center, as well as members of the association Mirabilia<\/em>, which brings together people with disabilities. During the event, youth with disabilities experienced the spirit of basketball together with the athletes, participated in a masterclass training session, and felt true camaraderie with the Rytas family. This is not the only initiative organized together \u2013 Satchel actively and sincerely engages in other Rytas social campaigns, including Together Against All<\/em>.<\/p>\n Satchel CEO Sergiy Barybin emphasized: \u201cOur cooperation has grown into a sincere, value-based partnership. I am grateful to Jaroslav Latu\u0161inskij and Darius Gudelis for the opportunity to be part of Rytas\u2019 history. We are united not only by professionalism, ambitious goals, and achievements \u2013 we believe that sports can be a bridge connecting different communities, and together with Rytas we are consistently creating an environment where no one is left behind. I want to invite other local businesses to follow our example and invest in the future of basketball in the capital and a more connected society.\u201d<\/p>\n
