Franco Baresi, a key member of Fondazione Milan, has been an unwavering advocate for the foundation's charitable and community projects around the globe. His dedication to "From Milan to the World," an initiative that created six projects across six cities, is a testament to his commitment. Beyond this, Baresi played a pivotal role in Sport for Change, an educational program tackling educational poverty, social exclusion, and school dropout rates.
In 2011, he personally participated in Kenya, constructing a home for 24 orphaned children and launching the first African football league for young refugees. Baresi's international efforts extended to Lebanon in 2024, supporting young refugees through the Sports for Peace initiative. Most recently, he supported AC Milan's coaching staff during a training session with Manchester City in New York, emphasizing the importance of developing football globally.
Baresi's contributions also include his support for Associazione Kayrós, helping young people in Milan facing hardships through sport, education, and community redevelopment. During the Covid-19 pandemic, he assisted in food distribution to vulnerable individuals and inaugurated new educational facilities in areas affected by natural disasters.
Fondazione Milan's partnership with PlayMore! further highlights Baresi's commitment to promoting social and sporting inclusion for marginalized communities.
