H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco in Bansko, Bulgaria
H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco has chosen the premier Bulgarian winter resort Bansko for the 6-th Ski event of his “Star Team for the Children” Charity Association and will arrive on January 27, leading a cast of worldknown legends in various sport disciplines. H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco and Mr. Mauro Serra founded the association in 1993, attracting as members outstanding sports champions from all over the world, each one of them – with remarkable achievements in their field.
The idea was simple and effective – through spectacular events with notorious athletes to attract children to sport, stimulate young talents and raise funds for charity causes.
Bulgarian Ski Federation and the Municipality of Bansko are honoured to
organise and host this exclusive event, which – apart from the traditional ski race
- will include a biathlon competition for the first time! Оn the white runs in 2012 will appear: S.A.R. Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoia, famous Formula 1 pilots Giancarlo Fisichella, Vitaly Petrov and Riccardo Patrese, five-time winner of Ski World Cup Marc Girardelli, pole vault legend Sergey Bubka and many more.
Bulgaria will be represented by the most successful Bulgarian skier of all times
Petar Popangelov, the Golden ball winner, football star Hristo Stoichkov,
Olympic champion in high jump and Chair of Bulgarian Olympic Committee
Stefka Kostadinova, biathlon Olympic champion Ekaterina Dafovska and
biathlon bronze Olympic medalist Irina Nikulchina.
Traditionally, the charity donations will be collected during the Gala Dinner –
taking this time place in Kempinski Grand Arena Bansko – through a raffle for
exclusive and limited pieces of art. Sitting around one table, the sport legends and the elite of Bulgarian business will be united by a common idea – to support the kids who hold the future of the world.
