Exactly one week after the launch of the charity auction for the 26 Atalanta shirts from the 2024 Xmas Match, pledges for the special "holiday" kits worn during the 3-2 victory against Empoli—namely Atalanta's final home match before Christmas and prior the end of the calendar year 2024—have reached €25,000.

Less than a week after the start of the charity auction for the 26 Atalanta jerseys from the 2024 Christmas Match, pledges for the special "holiday" shirts created for the occasion and worn by the whole Nerazzurro roster during their 3-2 win over Empoli in the final home game before Christmas (and the team's last domestic fixture of the calendar year) have already reached € 27,000. The latest update was made at 19:00 CET on Monday, December 30.

The charity auction will conclude with the final jersey awards during the TuttoAtalanta episode on Monday, January 13, 2025. Bids can be placed at any time via SMS to 335.6969423 or by email at asta@bergamotv.it. While fans can bid on multiple jerseys, each will have a separate winner to ensure as many participants as possible.

The updated bid quota for all 26 jerseys will be shared on TuttoAtalanta's social media channels, Bergamo TV's website, L'Eco di Bergamo's site, and here on our website. The next update will be available on the evening of Wednesday, January 1.

Now in its 14th year, this initiative stems from the long-lasting partnership with the regional broadcaster Bergamo TV (channel 15 on digital terrestrial and streaming). All proceeds will go to the Amici della Pediatria Association through the Atalanta Fund, created by the club in partnership with the Fondazione della Comunità Bergamasca Onlus.

All proceeds will be then devolved to charity in their entirety, on behalf of the Fondo Atalanta (Atalanta trust fund) established at the Fondazione della Comunità Bergamasca Onlus (Bergamo Community Foundation) Associazione Amici della Pediatria onlus, which has been supporting the Bergamo hospital since 1990 (now ASST Papa Giovanni XXIII), to create a waiting room named 'Wait & Play' on Hospital Street for all the children who come to the paediatric outpatients' department for treatment, examinations and follow-ups. The waiting time is used to play, which is the child's "work" to grow. The activities offered can be carried out independently, without the presence of professionals or volunteers, experimenting with their own skills and challenging the children present to foster relationships and sociality. Experiencing the hospital by encouraging play highlights the importance of play in a child's life.
