Largest charity auction in Romania raises donations for ten non-profits

The second edition of the Good Deeds Auction (Licitația de Fapte Bune), promoted as the largest charity auction in Romania, was launched on November 10.

The event, which aims to raise funds for ten non-profits in the country, is scheduled for December 20. But, until then, those interested can donate on Artmark.ro.

This year, the Good Deeds Auction is joined by the Romanian Red Cross, Blondie Association, Forever Forest Foundation, World Vision Romania Foundation, SOS Satele Copiilor, "Regina Maria" Social Innovation Foundation, Motivation Romania Foundation, Filia Organization, Digital Nation Foundation, and Polisano Foundation. The event brings together key areas such as health, education, sports, local development, environmental protection, non-discrimination, or social inclusion.

"The most uplifting art is the art of giving. The story of Good Deeds continues in 2022 at the A10 by Artmark Auction House. Together we will save lives, give courage to voiceless women, provide warm meals in hopeless areas, protect Romania's forests, support the education of the young generation and donate so that children's hearts continue to beat," said Marius Manole, ambassador of the Good Deeds Auction.

The Romanian Red Cross project aims to reduce school dropouts and ensure a hot meal for disadvantaged children from the country's poorest areas. Their cause is targeting a cost of EUR 250,000, and a minimum donation of EUR 25 will ensure a warm meal and a chance at life for dozens of children.

Every day in Romania, 3 children die before reaching the age of 1. To reduce this number, the Blondie Association launched the "Grow up big" campaign, which needs EUR 200,000. Those who want to help can make minimum donations of EUR 50.

The cause of the Forever Forest Foundation is to protect 1 hectare of forest in the Retezat mountains, and the targeted sum of EUR 600,000 will allow the purchase of the first forest-center of biodiversity on the European continent. Any donation of EUR 30 represents the cost of purchasing and protecting a square meter of forest, which the donor will own symbolically.

Meanwhile, the World Vision Romania Foundation aims to support children from rural areas to finish high school and choose a job. They aim to raise a total of EUR 120,000, and every minimum donation of EUR 100 can make a difference.
