24 April 2023 | On Sunday April 23rd, 135 colleagues from PSA Belgium took part in the 37th edition of the popular annual running event, the Antwerp 10 Miles. 

The Antwerp 10 Miles, which takes the more than 37,000 participants through Antwerp’s beautiful city centre, was a great opportunity for our PSA team to not only break personal records but also Be There and Play with their colleagues. And this year, they got to play in the rain. 

As was the case in previous editions, the PSA Belgium runners were not alone. They wereaccompanied by participants from the Antwerp City Pirates, an Antwerp-based social soccer project that seeks to give youths a more stable future. Its credo, ‘Football is the engine, social engagement is the fuel, diversity is the strength’, speaks of its efforts to direct the kids’ energies into soccer and bring them into an inclusive and healthy social community.

At the event, PSA Belgium was able to Make their Day by increasing its visibility and raising €5,000 for the Antwerp City Pirates, which will be used in the purchase of new soccer uniforms and shoes. This is in addition to their previous donations to the initiative, which included laptops and school supplies, on top of supporting the initiative’s digital classes, music and dance workshops and tutoring efforts.
