The balls for making money

Maybe, apart from it all being for charity, it was like this because it was the only meeting of the real estate market between June and September. This time a record-breaking 48 teams with 336 players took part. The event took place under the honorary patronage of the Polish Volleyball Federation with the aim of supporting Fundacja Spełnionych Marzeń (the Foundation of Fulfilled Dreams), to help them to buy medical equipment for the treatment of children with cancer. The equipment will be donated to the cancer wards of three hospitals: the Provincial Children’s Hospital in Olsztyn, University Children’s Hospital in Lublin and the Voivodship Hospital Complex/Świętokrzyskie Paediatric Centre in Kielce. as well as the entry fee, money was also donated throughout the entire day and during the auction of items contributed by the sponsors. A record-breaking PLN 369,210 was finally raised. Additionally, PLN 10,000 was transferred to the account of the Foundation by anonymous donors. Around 1,500 people attended and La Playa seemed very crowded. The atmosphere really hotted up – and not only due to the temperature that day. La Playa’s showers turned out to be a god-send. Finally, after a whole day of play, MLP Group beat Skanska in the final, with BNP Paribas Real Estate coming third.
