Endavant Solidaritat

The Endavant Solidaritat project brings together all the charity actions that Villarreal CF and its foundation promote or participate in. The Yellows collaborate financially and socially with countless non-governmental organisations (NGOs), charities, institutions, foundations, associations and special centres, mainly in the province of Castellón and the region of Valencia, such as the Fundación Roig Alfonso, Fundación Trinidad Alfonso, ASPANION, Cáritas, AECC, Afanias, Asociación Conquistando Escalones, among many others.

The Submarine has various teams for people with intellectual disabilities (known in Spanish as EDI – Escuela de Personas con Discapacidad Intelectual), which have been part of the sporting structure since the 2015/16 seaosn.

Through this initiative, Villarreal CF periodically promotes food collections for people at risk of social exclusion and toys for children in shelters in the province of Castellón. Similarly, every season, the Yellows club, in collaboration with the Centre de Transfusió de la Comunitat Valenciana (CTCV – Valencian Transfusion Centre), is involved in blood and bone marrow donation campaigns, providing the Estadio de la Cerámica as a donation point and encouraging the participation of Villarreal CF fans.

In this way the club sponsors, promotes and gives visibility to charitable causes of general interest such as the fight against breast cancer or many others of a personal nature that are fought with perseverance and courage by some of the people of our province.

One of the most prominent cases of this project took place in 2021, when Villarreal CF threw itself into helping little Zoe Prieto, a girl from Vila-real who needed surgery for a complex heart condition called Fallot’s tetrology. The club got involved in fundraising to pay for the costly operation at Boston Children’s Hospital. The operation was a success and saved the life of the young fan.

Another important initiative of the club in this area is the Charity Stand (Grada Solidaria). Villarreal distribute tickets for the matches in which their main teams play to the associations and charities with which they collaborate so that they can distribute them at a modest price and raise money for their charitable causes.
