Spiking for a Cause: HLL Proudly Supports the 15th Annual Volleyball Marathon in Aid of Id-Dar tal-Providenza

Reading Time: 2 minutes
HLL proudly attended and supported the 15th BOV Volleyball Marathon, backing Id-Dar tal-Providenza with tech, heart, and hands-on support for disability care in Malta.

On Friday, July 19th, the energy was electric as teams, volunteers, and supporters came together for the 15th edition of the BOV Volleyball Marathon – all in aid of Id-Dar tal-Providenza, a cherished home for people with disabilities in Malta.

This 24-hour annual fundraising event isn’t just about sport, it’s about community, compassion, and collaboration. And this year, HLL was proud to be part of it all.

Supporting with Heart and Tech 

At HLL, our mission is always to support better care through innovation. That’s why we proudly sponsor REVO, our flagship residence management system that helps streamline daily care routines and administration at Id-Dar tal-Providenza – giving them more time to focus on what matters most: the people they serve.

Our sponsorship is more than just technology; it’s about investing in the dignity, comfort, and wellbeing of their residents, and helping this incredible home do what it does best.

Hands-On Help from the HLL Team 

Our HLL team members Clara Grixti and Jodene Akeung took that spirit to heart, volunteering their time over the weekend to help collect donations at the event. From welcoming in visitors to collecting generous contributions from the attendees, their hands-on energy and warm smiles brought a personal touch to HLL’s contribution.

The Impact of Your Donations 

All funds raised during the marathon go directly toward the daily running of Id-Dar tal-Providenza, helping to provide specialised residential care, therapy, and support services for persons with disabilities. And the need continues, as every donation makes a real difference.
