The Instituto de Lotería y Casinos and Telekino delivered sports equipment to Club Adafi in Ringuelet, La Plata
The donation is part of a standing agreement between the provincial lottery and Telekino that has supported neighborhood clubs and community organizations across Buenos Aires Province for over two years

The Buenos Aires Province Lottery delivered a package of sports materials to Club Adafi, a local football club located in the Ringuelet neighborhood, La Plata. The handover was led by Gonzalo Atanasof, President of the Instituto de Lotería y Casinos (IPLyC), alongside Ricardo Sagesse, Manager of Telekino.

The shipment included 20 balls, 150 cones, 14 coordination ladders and two 20-liter cans of paint. Adafi, founded in 2002 and sustained largely through family contributions, currently runs youth football programs for more than 80 children between the ages of four and 13, competing in the Liga del Fútbol Infantil.

Gonzalo Atanasof, President of the IPLyC, said: "It's always a joy to support neighborhood clubs with this kind of donation. It's a small push so that more boys and girls can be part of what it means to come to the club, learn a sport, make new friends from the neighborhood, share hours of play and belong to a club."

José Castro, President of Adafi, said: "We are all very grateful. We value any contribution because here everything is done through effort and sacrifice. Every step forward is thanks to the collaboration of everyone who is part of the club and the children's own parents."

The action sits within the active agreement between the IPLyC and Telekino, a lottery product distributed nationally. Over the past two years, that arrangement has seen equipment reach clubs including Club San Lorenzo de Villa Castells, Club Everton and Club Tordillo, among others across the province. 

The initiative also carries an explicit harm-reduction dimension: stated program goals include steering youth away from gambling and problem consumption, positioning the lottery operator's community outreach as directly tied to its responsible gaming mandate.
