International Children’s Day is a constant annual reminder that we all must do something for kids – especially for those who suffer, who live under hard conditions or who fight an illness. For Podari.Life and our supporters, that is a call to do many great things that help Russian children and doctors to combat cancer.
Today, with restrictions and limitations of the CoVID-19 pandemic, we must usher our creativity in order to find new ways of fundraising. To give you some ideas we want to remember some great events our supporters organized recently. Events can happen offline and online but what they give to us – both emotionally and practically – is a great feeling of togetherness, of real human compassion and love.
Like Elena Lewis from California, who held already three concerts-fundraisers to benefit of Podari.Life. Her charity gatherings raised more than $7,000 USD that were used to buy critical medicines for young Russian patients.
Like Alexandra Diz, an Israeli-turned-Californian, who gave a lecture-fundraiser to fellow interior designers in Herzlia on her experience in America. Alexandra and 15 colleagues of her donated to Podari.Life proceedings of the seminar, organized under auspices of Point Salon.
Like Shanet gallery, a nonprofit organization that promotes Russian contemporary art in the US had organized an exhibition with some proceeds of sales to Podari.Life.
Together you provided help of over $1 million USD since 2015.
Each and other of these great efforts not only raised money for Podari.Life cause, and helped Russian child cancer patients to fight the illness, but also increased awareness of our mission we share with sister charities – “Podari Zhizn” in Russia and “Gift of Life” (UK).
