The Ana Rukavina Foundation raised 1.5 million kuna with the humanitarian hotline number<\/p>\n
On Friday, more than 30,000 people enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere and the music of the top domestic musicians at Zagreb\u2019s main square while supporting the work of the Ana Rukavina Foundation and contributing to realizing Ana\u2019s dream! Throughout the sixth consecutive \u201cI Want Life\u201d concert, citizens called the humanitarian hotline number 060 9000 a total of 240,953 times and in that way donated 1,481,861 kuna for the further tissue typing of blood samples which is incredibly important for the Croatian Registry of hematopoietic stem cells to be as operational as possible.<\/p>\n
With the free concert on Ban Josip Jela\u010di\u0107 Square, as well as the live broadcast on Nova TV, the Ana Rukavina Foundation once again thanked the citizens who with their unselfish donations helped achieve the mission of the Foundation \u2013 saving lives. On Friday our well known domestic stars prepared an exceptional musical night, which turned into a celebration with 30,000 citizens gathering on the main square, even stopping the traffic of the ZET trams. The performers included: Boris Novkovi\u0107, Dra\u017een Ze\u010di\u0107, E.T., Feminem, Goran Karan, Halid Be\u0161li\u0107, Iva Herceg, Ivana and Marija Husar, Jasmin Stavros, Jole, Klapa Intrade, Luka Ni\u017eeti\u0107, Maja \u0160uput, Massimo, Miroslav \u0160koro, Novi fosili and Prljavo kazali\u0161te. The Foundation really has a reason to celebrate: the work of the Ana Rukavina Foundation has saved 13 lives until now. This is thanks to the many donors who over the past five years have enabled the successful work of the Foundation by increasing the growth of the Croatian Registry of hematopoietic stem cells which currently lists more than 33,000 voluntary donors, of which more than 26,000 blood samples have already been tissue typed. With the aim of tissue typing the remaining 7,000 blood samples, for which it is necessary to raise 7 million kuna, respectable persons from Croatia\u2019s public life answered calls from citizens and accepted donations in the call center, including the President of the Republic of Croatia, Ivo Josipovi\u0107.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see how many lives were saved and that Croatia has joined the global action to save lives. Tens of thousands of our people are ready to help. Generosity is something that our citizens show very often; and even if they have little money themselves, they are still ready to share it with those who need it the most by participating in money raising events. This action represents the pinnacle of humanity. The initiative is truly worthy of all praise. My message is that we must always wish well and be willing to help our fellow citizens, friends, children and parents. Humanity is what characterizes human nature: let us be good, let us be generous,\u201d said President Josipovi\u0107.<\/p>\n
Prior to the concert, an action to join the Registry of voluntary hematopoietic stem cell donors took place on the square, with 303 citizens deciding to donate blood for tissue typing and increasing the chances of saving someone\u2019s life. Many of the Foundation\u2019s friends, as well as celebrities from Nova TV, took on the roles of donors and sellers of the Foundation promotional materials, including: Boris Banovi\u0107, Mirna Maras, Ivana Tomi\u0107, Jurica Radovi\u0107, Dorijan Elezovi\u0107 , \u0160ime Su\u0161i\u0107 , Viktorija Novosel, Ivana \u0160utej, Ivica Prtenja\u010da, Robert Zuber, Sanja Mikleu\u0161evi\u0107 and Bojana Greogori\u0107. Due to the citizens\u2019 great interest in joining the Registry, an action will also be held today, December 17th, on the main square from 11 AM to 2 PM.
