At Derby Group, we believe our responsibility extends far beyond the fruit on your shelves—it is where our mission truly begins. We believe in the power of community and that every action counts when it comes to the future of our youngest. This is why we were immensely proud to join this year’s 8th Rokusov Hop na Grad (Hop to the Castle). On April 19th, the streets of Ljubljana were filled with smiles, athletic spirit, and compassion, and we were there to support this noble movement.
More than just a race: a pillar of responsibility in Slovenia
The 8th Rokusov Hop na Grad is not just another run on the calendar; it is a cornerstone event in Slovenia that fosters a culture of solidarity. Such initiatives are invaluable because they:
- Unite the country: they bring together experts, businesses, and individuals with a single goal—helping children.
- Build trust: As a 100% charitable event, it sets an example of transparency and direct impact on the quality of our public healthcare.
- Educate future generations: It teaches children that physical activity is closely linked to empathy and helping those in need.
A step toward health and modern medical equipment
This year’s event was truly special. More than 1,300 runners of all generations pushed their limits toward Ljubljana Castle with one goal: to raise funds for the University Children’s Hospital Ljubljana.
We are proud that this year’s proceeds will enable the purchase of a Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) device. This cutting-edge, non-invasive technology will help young heroes overcome difficult neurological and psychiatric challenges. For us at Derby, this is more than a donation; it is an investment in the health and better tomorrow of those who will shape our future.
Active community and humanitarianism in our DNA
Our vision of an active community drives us to support sports and culture, the pillars that nourish our social fabric. By participating in such projects, we also strengthen our humanitarian pillar, where we regularly stand by organizations helping children, local associations, and educational institutions.
Thank you to everyone who ran, cheered, or contributed their energy to this wonderful day. At Derby, we will continue to ensure that the path to health and smiles is always filled with the best vitamins and heartfelt stories.
See you at the next summit!
