Ritzio Group, the Russian operator of gaming venues and entertainment centres, has announced the launch of International Parasport Foundation, a private charity organisation designed to provide resources to advance the quality and opportunities for sportspeople with disabilities, and promote Paralympic sport.
The group has established the IPF in an alliance with Switch Mobility and Finstar Financial Group, companies owned by Ritzio’s president Oleg Boyko.
For several years, Ritzio has been supporting the Russian Paralympic Team and the National Paralympic Committee, assisting athletes with physical, mental and sensorial disabilities in their participation in sports events, training and social activities.
Ritzio plans to expand its endowment activities through the foundation by allocating funds to the Paralympic organizations of European, Asian and Latin American countries.
