White Label Casinos and BGaming have partnered with NEXT.io to host a charity gala in support of DAR Bjorn, a neurological care initiative based in Malta. The event, scheduled for 9 May at Villa Bighi, aims to raise funds for DAR Bjorn’s new Respite project, which will offer short-term care for individuals with severe neurological conditions such as ALS and MS.
The Respite facility will complement DAR Bjorn’s existing homes by providing relief for both patients and their caregivers, addressing a growing need for temporary, high-quality neurological support in the region.
Organised as a fundraising evening, the gala is set to feature live music from headline act Versatile and a performance by internationally recognised street artist Luis Martins (L7Matrix), whose artwork will be auctioned during the event. Guests will also be entered into a raffle offering prizes that include luxury travel experiences, including a fully funded trip to the Norwegian Fjords.
The gala marks a broader commitment to corporate social responsibility from both White Label Casinos and BGaming, with plans for further collaborative fundraising initiatives throughout 2025.
Proceeds from the evening will directly support DAR Bjorn’s ongoing efforts to enhance care and infrastructure for individuals living with complex neurological conditions across Malta. Tickets are currently available, offering attendees the opportunity to contribute to a significant healthcare cause while participating in a high-profile industry event.
Bjorn Formosa, Founder of DAR Bjorn, said: “I am beyond thankful for the support from the iGaming industry which will help ensure we can make Respite a reality.
“The money raised during this year’s Charity Gala will help equip a world-class centre to ensure people living with neurological conditions or those who are caregivers will continue to have access to vital respite they so desperately need.”
Phil Pearson, CEO of White Label Casinos, said: “It’s genuinely an honour to come together with other iGaming companies like BGaming and NEXT.io to support this important cause.
“We all share a passion for giving back to the community and joining forces will hopefully inspire other companies to do the same. We can all make an impact separately, but together we can make a hopefully monumental difference to society.”
Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO of BGaming, said: “The BGaming team firmly believes in the power of collaboration to drive meaningful change, and our partnership with White Label Casinos and NEXT.io for The DAR Bjorn Charity Gala is a testament to that.
“I am confident that this initiative will help shape a future where corporate responsibility and compassion go hand in hand, ensuring that those in need receive the support they deserve.”
