Camber approves solidarity run in Ponta Grossa calendar
Ponta Grossa Chamber approves project to include the Resgatando Vidas run in the municipal calendar, highlighting sports and solidarity
Câmara Municipal de Ponta Grossa (CMPG) approved, during the ordinary session on Wednesday (11), the bill that includes the event “Rescuing Lives in the Race” in the Official Calendar of the Municipality. The proposal is authored by councilman Fábio Silva (Republicans) and seeks to enhance an initiative that brings together sport, solidarity and awareness about the risks of drug use.
Promoted annually by the Life Squad Association, the race reached its 10th edition in 2025 and has consolidated itself as an activity to encourage sports practice, physical and mental health care and community mobilization around social causes.
Race strengthens drug prevention work
In addition to stimulating healthy habits, the event contributes to disseminating the work developed by the Life Squad Association, an institution that has been working for more than 47 years in Ponta Grossa.
The entity develops actions aimed at preventing the use of narcotics, raising the awareness of the population and rehabilitating people who face chemical dependence.
The race also represents an opportunity to bring the community closer to the activities of the association, increasing the visibility of social projects and encouraging the participation of residents in solidarity initiatives.
Event will be held in November
According to the text approved by the councilors, the “Rescuing Lives in the Race” should integrate the official calendar of events of Ponta Grossa, with the realization expected annually in the month of November.
In the justification presented, the councilor Fábio Silva highlights the importance of recognizing the trajectory of the initiative and its contribution to the promotion of quality of life, solidarity and social awareness.
Approval in the House is a step in the legislative process. In order for inclusion to be formalized, the project must still comply with the necessary legal steps. (With advice)
