Bof Association

BOF (BOF Association) is an organization based in Imola, active since 2018, and part of the No Sprechi ODV network, with which it shares its president, Alfonso Bottiglieri. This synergy reflects a shared commitment to solidarity and sustainability.

The association focuses on the sustainable planning and management of cultural and food-related events, with special attention to street food and the fight against food waste, actively supporting initiatives like the National Food Collection Day organized by Banco Alimentare.

A core aspect of BOF’s work is the organization of eco-sustainable events aimed at reducing environmental impact and promoting more responsible behavior, with the goal of adopting the ISO 20121 sustainability management standard.

One of its most notable initiatives is the “NeverGiveUp Memorial Nicola Ussia”, which raises awareness about cardiovascular disease prevention and collects funds to donate defibrillators to local organizations. Nicola Ussia tragically passed away from a heart attack in 2009. The initiative is carried forward by his children, Antonio Ussia and Giulia Ussia, who are members of the Bof association. Over the years, 8 defibrillators have been donated and placed in key locations across the Imola area.

These new auctions promoted by the Bof association aim to raise funds to purchase a Lucas System to be donated to the 118 Emergency Department of the Imola local health authority (AUSL).

BOF is also committed to social causes through charity auctions and active collaboration with local entities, demonstrating strong organizational skills and a focus on key issues such as environmental sustainability and community support.
