The “Get Involved! Fundraiser for Metal Heart-Shaped Bottle Banks in Nowogrodziec Municipality” campaign, as part of which the containers were installed, was organized to mark the 10th anniversary of the website Nowogrodziec-news.
Proceeds from the sale of bottle caps collected in the containers will support the work of the Najdroższa Blizna Foundation, which helps families of children with heart defects. Children and parents from Bolesławiec County also benefit from the foundation’s assistance.
The media patron of the campaign was the istotne.pl portal.
The hearts were installed in Czerna, Zebrzydowa, Gościszów, Gierałtów and Wykroty. The organizers extend their heartfelt thanks to the people who agreed to make land available for the containers:
- Jarosław Raczyński, owner of the Store with Bolesławiec Artistic Ceramics in Czerna
- Anna and Zdzisław Zborowscy, owners of the ABC store in Gierałtów
- Marian Jabłoński, owner of the Lewiatan store in Gościszów
- Katarzyna Piątek, owner of the Lewiatan store in Wykroty
