During our most successful Season of Giving so far, we have collected an incredible 346,315 euros for the opening of a preschool in Nis, while the funds collected will be directed to other projects as well. Over 1,400 people from 32 countries supported the campaign, including companies from Nis, Serbia, and abroad. Donations were also possible via SMS through all mobile operators in Serbia.
To our great satisfaction, plenty of actors, singers, and other public persons joined the campaign, as well as mom and dad influencers who share the values of our Foundation and our founders. The campaign was first supported by the world-renowned violinist and Nis native Nemanja Radulovic. Subsequently, the campaign was joined by Sloboda and Dragana Micalovic, Nina Jankovic, Andrija Milosevic, Jelena Gavrilovic, Andrej Maricic, Lena Kovacevic, Andrej Josifovski, Andjelka Prpic, Sergej Cetkovic, Marina Cosic, Ana Stajdohar, Mariana Tabakovic, Srdjan Timarov, Strahinja Calovic, Dolores Milosev Erdeg, and Marija Hudolin, to name but a few.
Season of giving donors who deeply believe in our mission and the sincere intentions of our founders
The success of the Season of Giving is not only reflected in the funds raised, but also in the expansion of a community that believes in the power of early education.
Along with the donations, we received a handful of warm comments that additionally motivated our team to continue to strive towards the goal. Here are some of them:
Kristin McMillan: Nis is the home city of my husband, and all his family reside there. I have grown to love the city, and we both wish to help children there. We’re so grateful for all you do to help children across Serbia, and of course this is a very special fundraiser for us personally.
