OPA Presents: Bilaliki Beach Party 2025

Party with Purpose. Celebrate Oinousses & Fuel Its Culture.

OPA (the Oinousses Party Association), in collaboration with the Oinoussai Benevolent Fund (OBF/TEO), invites you to the Bilaliki Beach Party 2025, our annual summer celebration raising funds for year-round creative, cultural, and sporting initiatives in Oinousses.

🎉 What You Helped Make Happen

Thanks to your incredible support last year (and TEO’s matched funding) we were able to contribute to over €7,000 worth of community programmes. 

🎨 Art Classes

• 3 weekly sessions for ages 5 to 70+
• Workshops with a puppet master, illustrator, painter, and a young comic book artist
• Student works featured in the Chios Music Festival Winter Edition
• Joint project with theatre & music students culminating in a performance of “Big Painters: When They Were Young” at the Cultural Centre

⚽ Sports Programme

• Weekly football and basketball classes led by passionate coaches
• Oinousses New Gen Athletes played their first friendly match with many more to come (they also got their own custom kit! (not funded by us, but still awesome)
• Parent contributions introduced to help create long-term sustainability

🎸 Guitar Lessons

• A growing group of young guitarists
• Piano lessons launching next year expanding our music programme (if we can hit our fundraising target)
• Led by the talented Mike Los and coordinated by the brilliant Stacey

💡 Why We Need Your Support in 2025

To keep these programmes alive and growing, we need to raise €7,500 again this year. Every euro will be matched by TEO, doubling your impact.

Your donation will help fund:

• Art, music & theatre classes for all ages
• Football & basketball training, equipment, and team development
• Performances, exhibitions, and youth-led cultural events
• Ongoing collaboration between creative disciplines
• New initiatives, including piano lessons and potentially even martial arts

“Arts, music, and sports offer more than just hobbies to our children; they nurture confidence, inspire creativity, strengthen community bonds, and provide vital opportunities for self-expression and wellbeing.” Stacey, Programme Coordinator
