For the fifth year in a row, the Ana Rukavina Foundation has organized their traditional humanitarian Christmas concert on Ban Jela\u010di\u0107 Square, which will start at 8 PM on December 21st. The concert is to thank all the benevolent people who since the very beginning of the Foundation’s work have unselfishly helped its work and mission in order to offer the hope of life to those fighting against hematological diseases.<\/p>\n
Throughout the year, many famous performers have taken the opportunity to use their shows to raise awareness about the importance of donating bone marrow and stem cells, as well as to raise finances in order to continue the mission of the Foundation. This year, on Zagreb’s main square, the following performers will do just that: Bojan Jambro\u0161i\u0107, Colonia, E.T., Emilija Koki\u0107, Feminnem, Franka Bateli\u0107, Jole, Karma, Kim Verson, Lana Klingor, Jacques Houdek and Novi Fosili.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe purpose of the \u201cI want life\u201d concert is to thank all of those people who have helped the work of the Foundation in any way throughout the year, and to enable us to support all of those people whose fight against sickness is really a fight for life. We hope that the citizens will continue to support the work of the Foundation in the future so that together we can continue the mission of saving as many lives as possible,\u201d said the director of the Ana Rukavina Foundation, Mrs. Marija Rukavina.<\/p>\n
Ana’s letter \u201cI want life\u201d touched the entire Croatian public, and Ana became a symbol of hope, optimism and survival. \u201cI immensely love life and people. I know I have someone to live for. Giving up was never an option for me. I want life!\u201d This was Ana’s appeal to the public in an effort to gather potential donors and raise the necessary finances for treatment, but it was also words of hope for all those who were facing the terrible disease. Ana became a heroine who showed that by joining forces you can fight to help all those that are in need. After her death, the fight to help all of those suffering from hematological diseases continues with the work of the Foundation, the aim of which is to expand the Registry of voluntary bone marrow and stem cell donors.<\/p>\n
In addition to the concert, a call center will be set up. The lines of the charity hotline number will be manned by celebrities from the areas of politics, business, entertainment and sports. In this way we plan to raise funds in order to continue the work of the Foundation. Along with the well-known celebrities on the stage and the many famous people in the call center, citizens can support the work of the Foundation by calling 060 9000 (one call donates 5 kuna + VAT = 6.15 kuna; T-HT is the operator of the humanitarian number). The funds raised will be used toward expanding the Registry of voluntary bone marrow and stem cell donors.<\/p>\n
