Yesterday the court became the stage for one of the finest successes in our club’s history. Magic Day, the charity event raising funds for the Magic Association, took place in an extraordinary atmosphere, proving once again that sport has the incredible power to bring people together for truly noble causes.
The beautiful hall that hosted us – thank you, UBB Cluj – quickly filled with energy, emotion and generosity. More than 200 parents joined our initiative, accompanied by many enthusiastic children. Together we showed what a united community really means!
The event opened with a presentation of our club’s vision and of the vital mission of the Magic Association, which supports children diagnosed with serious illnesses and their families.
The day was marked by the presence of two exceptional special guests:
- Mihai Silvășan (coach of U-BT Cluj-Napoca and former head coach of Romania’s national basketball team), a true living legend of Cluj sport;
- Nneka Onyejekwe (one of Romania’s most decorated volleyball players), an imposing presence in both attitude and stature.
The two champions shared their thoughts on perseverance, teamwork and the spirit of generosity. The autograph session, photos at the photo banner and the purchase of club kit turned the break into a true marathon of good deeds.
The atmosphere was simply electric when the court was taken over by the Deja-Vu cheerleading squad. Award-winning at national and international competitions, the girls put on a flawless show, full of energy, spectacular acrobatics and perfect synchronisation.
With smiles and contagious energy, their performance was much loved, especially by the youngest girls, drawing rounds of applause from the more than 200 parents and children. Through their grace, discipline and passion, the Deja-Vu girls turned the break between moments into a real explosion of joy and added extra colour and magic to the whole charity event.
They also made the entrance and presentation of the 2 teams livelier and more dynamic. Thank you, girls, and good luck going forward!
The highlight of the day was without doubt the exhibition match between the Juniors and the Coaches – a derby full of smiles, friendly ambition and spectacular moments, where the final score took a back seat and the real winner was solidarity.
We are deeply proud, moved and grateful to announce that, thanks to your extraordinary generosity, we exceeded all expectations: we raised more than 23,000 lei, all of which went to the Magic Association.
This figure is worth far more than its financial value – it is living proof of the kindness and solidarity of our community. Every leu raised through kit purchases and heartfelt donations turns into direct support: therapy hours, accommodation, medical treatment and food parcels for children fighting the hardest battles. Together we showed that when we join forces for a noble cause, we can truly be the magic in the lives of those who need hope the most.
