Swag42 produced 832 custom merchandise items for the Dream Big. Give Bigger. charity collection, created with BGaming to support DAR Bjorn in Malta. The merchandise supported fundraising at NEXT Summit Valletta 2025 and the DAR Bjorn Charity Gala.

About the DAR Bjorn Charity Gala

The DAR Bjorn Charity Gala took place at Villa Bighi in Kalkara, Malta, on 9 May 2025. It was co-organised by BGaming, White Label Casinos, and NEXT.io. Swag42 was the event’s merchandise sponsor.

At the time of the 2025 gala, DAR Bjorn operated homes in Qormi and Żebbuġ and was raising funds for a new respite centre. The planned facility would provide short-term care for people with severe neurological conditions, including ALS and MS, and support their caregivers.

Guests could contribute through tickets, sponsorships, art auctions, raffles, and purchases from the charity merchandise collection.

At BGaming, we always strive to go beyond the expected and do something more. So when we were preparing for the DAR Bjorn Charity Gala, we weren’t just thinking about attracting more donations — we wanted to surprise, engage, and inspire. 

That’s how the ‘Dream Big. Give Bigger’ collection was born. Special thanks to the Swag42 team for incredible support in making this collection a reality.

Together, we raised €200,000 for DAR Bjorn. 400 people showed up, not just for a party, but to stand with those who need us most.

It was a big and meaningful charity project for BGaming! I still get goosebumps thinking about the energy in the room, the generosity and the hope we all shared that night.
