Since 2019, AC Monza has been donating the red-and-white pencil case, complete with school supplies and stationery, to all first-grade students in public, parochial, and private schools in the city on their very first day of school.
The project confirms the strong collaboration with the Municipality of Monza through specific educational programs with local schools, offering concrete support to enhance the visibility of football as an educational tool. At the heart of the initiative remain positive role models and the values of civic responsibility and education — key pillars of the new course launched by the Club more than a year ago.
The initiative has been met with great enthusiasm and has achieved significant media resonance, to the point of already being considered a case study of public–private collaboration.
