Grandparents’ Day < A sponsored olive tree is a hug between generations
Grandparents’ Day is celebrated on July 26th. This day, which honours grandparents and aims to show affection and appreciation for all of them, is an excellent opportunity to give gifts to those who give so much, thank them for their support and dedication to the family, and show how important they are in the family context.
Therefore, the organisation Sponsor a Olive Tree proposes that, this year, grandparents and grandchildren come together and sponsor an olive tree to celebrate this connection between generations. Just like centuries-old olive trees, grandparents preserve wisdom, care, and history over time that deserves to be preserved.
Sponsoring an olive tree is a way for grandparents and grandchildren to create unforgettable memories. The centuries-old olive tree is, therefore, the link: it is resilient, wise, and the guardian of stories that span generations. It is the perfect embodiment of the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.
How to sponsor an olive tree?
Sponsoring an olive tree can be done in several ways, but the simplest format is online, through the website apadrinhaumaoliveira.org. Therefore, we suggest that on this day, after a long breakfast or a fun lunch, grandparents and grandchildren can together select the olive tree they wish to sponsor through the organisation’s website. After selecting the olive tree, it can be baptised and visited whenever they like. The following year, sponsors receive, as a thank you, up to two litres of extra virgin olive oil. Sponsorship is guaranteed after an annual donation of €35 or €60.

At Apadrinha Uma Oliveira, abandoned olive groves are restored to ensure the continuity of the biodiversity that has always been part of our landscape and natural heritage. By restoring these olive groves, we are not only preserving natural heritage but also creating new job opportunities for people at risk of social exclusion. Sponsoring an olive tree is, therefore, a sustainable and conscious gesture for the good of society and the environment.
This Grandparents’ Day, sponsor an olive tree and celebrate this connection between generations.
