Sporting Event Changes Lives

The Homeless World Cup is an annual event intended to empower those currently homeless individuals and give them the opportunity to change their life. 48 nations compete in the fifth annual Homeless World Cup (HWC) currently running in Copenhagen, Denmark, and now the online casino betting site Partybets.com has announced that it too will support the cause.

PartyBets is an online casinos sportsbooking site that will take bets on the HWC and donate all proceeds from those bets to the event – or more specifically the HWC Organisaiton that oversees the event and will ensure that all monies are spent wisely. And a spokesperson for the online casino site commented on the donated funds, "We're delighted to be involved in such a worthwhile project. Research from the 2006 event showed that 73 percent of the players involved actually changed their lives for the better after participating. Any profits made from the market will be donated to the charity, so we are really hoping that our users get involved in the fun and back their country."

The basic premise of the event it centers on the idea that using a sport like football will unite the countries around the globe and encourage give the currently homeless the motivation to participate in the event and learn ways to better their life. That online casino companies like PartyBets support the event with monies goes to show that the HWC really does bring together everyone from different walks of life with the intention of empowering the homeless competing with their country against other countries.

Eric Cantona, a football legend will attend the event, and he comments on the power of football. He says, “Football unites; it inspires and it energises individuals, communities and the world. Football and the Homeless World Cup has the power to fire up a person to excel as a human being, to change lives for the better. It is fantastic that football brings this opportunity.”

One can only hope that in the coming years other online casino sportsbooking companies follow in PartyBets.com’s lead to support such a worthwhile cause.
