An invitation to “CHARITABLE BREAKFAST”
The companies residing at Westend have decided to organise an event together for all the willing people in our business zone: CHARITABLE BREAKFAST. We invite you to a tasty breakfast, thanks to which we can contribute to a good cause. When? On Wednesday March 14th from 8:30 am to 1 pm in lobby of Westend Gate and Westend Square building.
Maybe you’ve already seen IBM volunteers in bright blue shirts. They were selling freshly baked cakes and informing the passersby with a smile why they were there and how the money they collect were going to be used. This time, four companies – IBM, Generali, Siemens, and Dúhová škôlka – came together for the sake of helping others. Volunteers from among their staff are organising the next CHARITABLE BREAKFAST together.
WHAT IS CHARITABLE BREAKFAST?1. Volunteers prepare and bake cakes, cookies, or pastries and bring them to a small market in the common areas of the building, where they will be sold with the assistance of other fellow colleagues.
2. Each baked product will be sold for a symbolic price of € 1.50.
3. All the collected money will be donated to the selected NGO or to a specific recipient in need.
WHO ARE WE HELPING HIS TIME?REHABILITATION TREATMENT FOR PREMATURELY BORN TWINS
The boys Oliver and Tomas were born in October 2015, in their 25th week. They only weighed 740 and 770 grams, respectively, and they spent the first 3 months of their lives in incubators connected to artificial lung ventilation. As a result of premature birth, extensive intraventricular bleeding occurred in their brains and several other complications followed, requiring intensive care in different areas: neurology, surgery, anthropometry, cardiology, physiotherapy, and visits of an ophthalmologist as well as a pulmonary doctor. The money collected through our charitable breakfast event will help them cover the costs of a special upcoming treatment in a children rehabilitation centre Liberta in Kosice.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?Come to the lobby of Westend Gate and Westend Square buildings on Wednesday March 14th from 9am to 1pm and choose from a wide range of homemade goodies prepared by your colleagues. All the collected money will be handed over to the family of Oliver and Tomas via a foundation and will be used to finance their special treatment program. The more of us will come and support this action, the greater our common help for the little twins will be.
