Mozzart and BC Borac for the easier life of people with disabilities
The representatives of Mozzart company and the point guard of the BC Borac Bryce Jones used the holiday and gift giving time to pay a visit to and cheer up the users of the Center for Independent Living of People with Disabilities in Čačak.
That they always strive to connect sport and nobility, the Mozzart company has proved it once again by paying a visit to the Center for Independent Living of People with Disabilities in Čačak, where the BC Borac’s playmaker Bryce Jones handed over the money donation. The noble profits the athlete has destined for this organization have been won thanks to his brilliant sports betting in the socially responsible Humanitarian Ticket at Noon campaign organised by Mozzart company.
The great reinforcement of Borac, the first foreigner that has ever joined this club from Čačak by the way, Bryce Jones, accepted with pleasure the part in this charity event and the opportunity to help. It wasn’t difficult for him to make a decision and direct the won profits to humanitarian organisation that takes care of people with disabilities in the city that is presently his sports base.
“This is my first time to participate in the campaign of this kind and I’m extremely happy about it. I’ve been playing the basketball all my life, and sports are a great platform to help people in need. I would be glad if the people from the Center came to a play of the BC Borac, “Jones said.
The Center for Independent Living of People with Disabilities gathers around more than 40 members who work together to promote the philosophy of independent living and the potential of people with disabilities. They are continuously working on developing a Personal Assistance Service and on employing people in order to get socialized and integrated as many people as possible into common aspects of life, which is the main goal.
According to Dragana Maksimović from the Center, the most important task of this organization is to educate and to increase the self confidence of people with disabilities, which leads in great deal to their independent life. To accomplish such mission, they need the support of successful companies like Mozzart.
“I want to thank Mozzart company for the funds they are going to donate to us, as well as for the interesting idea of the Humanitarian Ticket campaign and the way they show their nobility, not only to us, but to all people who need help. Thanks to this donation, our plan is to replace some of the furniture and to arrange a picnic next spring. We also appeal to other successful business entities to be socially responsible and show some humanity, at least in their city. I thank to Jones too, the basketball player, the involvement of public figures is very important for us because it helps to call attention to the problems that people with disabilities are facing with on a daily basis,”explained Maksimović.
Predrag Pantović, the president of the BC Borac, witnesses a long-standing successful cooperation between the regional leader in gambling industry and the club from Čačak.
“The citizens of Čačak are honoured that our fellow citizens run Mozzart Company that has been proving for years its social responsibility and that they are helping unselfishly and generously people in need. Mozzart also helps sports clubs in many ways, so they were the general sponsor of Borac at the crucial point. This support was valuable to us and if it wasn’t there, the destiny of Borac would not be what it is today for sure, and we wouldn’t be on these paths of success that we are on today. I am glad that our player, the first American in our ranks, was lucky to put together a ticket successfully and direct a significant amount of money to people that it is going to mean a lot to, ” said Pantović.
In the spirit of the “Let’s Be socially responsible in 2020” campaign, MOZZART Company will continue to help humanitarian organizations and invest in the development of health care, sports, education and culture.
The Borac basketball player became the 193th Mozzart’s winner in the “Humanitarian Ticket at Noon” campaign and the total amount donated by now throughout this campaign alone is 14,151,690.00 dinars.

Mozzart i KK Borac za lakši život osoba sa invaliditetom
Vreme praznika i darivanja predstavnici kompanije Mozzart i plejmejker KK Borac Brajs Džouns iskoristili da obiđu i obraduju korisnike čačanskog Centra za samostalni život osoba sa invaliditetom
Da uvek nastoji da povezuje sport i plemenitost, kompanija Mozzart je još jednom dokazala posetom Centru za samostalni život osoba sa invaliditetom u Čačku, kada im je plejmejker košarkaškog kluba Borac Brajs Džouns uručio novčanu donaciju. Plemeniti dobitak koji je sportista opredelio ovoj organizaciji ostvaren je zahvaljujući njegovoj sjajnoj sportskoj prognozi u društveno odgovornoj akciji kompanije Mozzart „Humanitarni tiket u podne“.
Veliko pojačanje Borca, inače prvi stranac koji je stigao u redove ovog čačanskog kluba Brajs Džouns, sa zadovoljstvom je prihvatio učešće u dobrotvornoj akciji i mogućnost da pomogne. Nije mu bilo teško da odluči da ostvareni dobitak usmeri humanitarnoj organizaciji koja brine o osobama sa invaliditetom upravo u gradu koji je trenutno i njegova sportska baza.
„Ovo je prvi put da učestvujem u akciji ovog tipa i izuzetno sam srećan zbog toga. Celog života se bavim košarkom, a sport je odlična platforma sa koje se može pomoći ljudima kojima je to potrebno. Bilo bi mi drago da ljudi iz Centra dođu na neku utakmicu KK Borac“, rekao je Džouns.
Centar za samostalni život osoba sa invaliditetom okuplja više od 40 članova koji zajedno rade na promociji filozofije samostalnog života i potencijala osoba sa invaliditetom. Kontinuirano rade na razvijanju Servisa personalne asistencije i na zapošljavanju, kako bi se što više ljudi socijalizovalo i uključilo u uobičajene životne tokove što i jeste osnovni cilj.
Prema rečima Dragane Maksimović iz Centra, najvažniji zadatak ove organizacije je edukacija i povećanje samopouzdanja osoba sa invaliditetom što u velikoj meri vodi ka njihovom samostalnom životu. U ostvarenju ove misije preko im je potrebna podrška uspešnih kompanija poput Mozzart – a.
„Želim da se zahvalim kompaniji Mozzart na sredstvima koja će nam donirati, kao i na zanimljivoj ideji akcije Humanitarni tiket i načinu na koji pokazuje svoju plemenitost, ne samo prema nama, već i prema svima kojima je pomoć neophodna. Planiramo da uz pomoć ove donacije zamenimo deo nameštaja i da organizujemo izlet na proleće. Apelujemo i na ostale uspešne privredne subjekte da budu socijalno odgovorni i da pokažu humanost, bar u svom gradu. Hvala i košarkašu Džounsu, uključivanje javnih ličnosti je veoma značajno za nas, jer pomaže da se skrene pažnja na probleme s kojima se osobe sa invaliditetom susreću svakodveno“, objasnila je Maksimović.
O dugogodišnjoj uspešnoj saradnji regionalnog lidera industrije igara na sreću i čačanskog kluba svodoči predsednik KK Borac Predrag Pantović.
„Nama Čačanima je čast što ljudi iz našeg grada vode kompaniju Mozzart, koja već godinama dokazuje da je društveno odgovorna i da pomaže nesebično i široke ruke ljudima kojima je to potrebno. Mozzart na različite načine pomaže i sportskim klubovima, pa je u ključnom trenutku bio i generalni sponzor Borca. Nama je ta podrška bila dragocena, i da je nije bilo sasvim sigurno sudbina Borca ne bi bila kakva je danas i ne bismo bili na ovim stazama uspeha na kojima smo danas. Drago mi je da je naš igrač, i to prvi Amerikanac u našim redovima, imao sreće da upešno sastavi tiket i značajnu svotu novca opredeli ljudima kojima će to dosta značiti“, istakao je Pantović.
U duhu misije „Budimo društveno odgovorni i u 2020. godini“ kompanija MOZZART će i ubuduće pomagati humanitarnim organizacijama i ulagati u razvoj zdravstva, sporta, obrazovanja i kulture.
Košarkaš Borca postao je 193. Mozzartov dobitnik u akciji„Humanitarni tiket u podne“ i ukupna suma koja je do sada donirana samo u ovoj akciji iznosi 14.151.690,00 dinara.
