LeoVegas Group Donates €10,000 to Maltese L-Istrina Telethon

LeoVegas Group has donated €10,000 to the L-Istrina Boxing Day telethon, continuing its annual tradition of supporting medical treatments for individuals in need.

The L-Istrina telethon, a key charity event in Malta since 1995, is organised by the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation (MCCFF) and raises funds for specialised medical treatments, including rare and expensive procedures for both adults and children.

The €10,000 donation was presented during the 2024 Boxing Day event. Reflecting on the contribution, Stefan Nelson, Group CFO and Managing Director at LeoVegas Group Malta, said:

“L-Istrina is a cherished Maltese tradition that brings the whole island together in support of individuals and families facing difficult circumstances. We are honoured to contribute to an initiative that improves the lives of so many. This donation is part of the Group’s broader commitment to support the communities we are proud to be a part of.”

LeoVegas Group has been a recurring supporter of the L-Istrina telethon. In 2023, the event raised over €5.28 million, with contributions from the company playing a key role.
