Awards 2025: 4 researchers, €12,000, an evening at CSV Lazio
When sport funds research: Strongers' Awards 2025
2025 marks a milestone for Strongers Social Club ETS: four oncology researchers will receive a tangible, concrete recognition for their commitment to fighting cancer. Not just words — €12,000 directed straight to their research projects, alongside a celebration evening at CSV Lazio (Centro Servizi per il Volontariato).
This is Strongers' mission in action: turning the passion for sport into real resources for oncology research. The Awards 2025 embody our commitment to recognising those who dedicate their lives to fighting cancer through scientific research.
A recognition born from the sporting community
Strongers uses sport as a tool for fundraising and awareness. Every event, every race, every athletic endeavour becomes an opportunity to raise funds for those working in laboratories to improve cancer therapies and increase survival rates.
The four researchers selected for the Awards 2025 represent the excellence of Italian research. Their dedication, their studies, their discoveries do not go unnoticed: Strongers sees them, supports them, and honours them.
CSV Lazio as a symbol of community
The choice of CSV Lazio as the event venue is deliberate. The Centro Servizi per il Volontariato is the hub of the non-profit network in Lazio — the very ecosystem in which Strongers operates every day. It is the right place to celebrate how volunteering and solidarity can produce concrete results in medical research.
€12,000: numbers that speak
Twelve thousand euros are not just a figure: they are reagents for experiments, hours of work on sophisticated equipment, steps towards innovative therapies. For an oncology researcher, these funds can mean the difference between carrying a promising project forward or watching it stall.
Strongers knows that funding research requires dedicated, consistent, and predictable resources. That is why it will continue to organise events, raise funds through sport, and reward those who work tirelessly to defeat cancer.
How Strongers works
If you are new to the Strongers Social Club ETS model, here it is: we are a non-profit that believes in the power of sport as a lever for change. We do not trade in stories of pity — we celebrate stories of research, scientific perseverance, and a community mobilising for a shared cause.
The Awards 2025 are the outcome of this approach. They are the outcome of thousands of people who have chosen to use sport not only to feel good, but to do good.
Be part of the change
Want to be part of this story? Strongers invites anyone who believes in the power of sport and research to join this mission. Whether you are an athlete, a sport enthusiast, a volunteer, or simply someone who wants to see oncology research move forward, there is always a way to contribute.
The Awards 2025 remind us all of one simple truth: together, sport and research can change the future.
