Volleyball, thanks a million! Record breaking 7th Charity Real Estate Beach Volleyball Tournament
JLL takes its responsibility for the social, environmental and economic impacts of its operations extremely seriously. The company constantly evolves its strategy and is dedicated to engendering positive changes in the real estate industry by actively engaging with the local community. JLL’s flagship initiative is the annual Charity Real Estate Beach Volleyball Tournament organized under the patronage of the Polish Volleyball Federation – one of the most popular events on the Polish real estate sector's social calendar. The event brings together teams representing both Polish and international companies (top developers, investors, advisors, legal firms and others) in friendly competition, and to help those in need. By registering for the tournament, teams support charitable organizations. This year's event, held on 4th August 2016 in La Playa Music Bar in Warsaw, raised a record 360,100 PLN. The funds were donated to The Children's Memorial Health Institute to purchase two vehicles for transporting blood and other medical items. This year, 44 teams (308 players) participated in the volleyball matches, while approx. 1,500 people took part in the whole event. In total, 1,180,000 PLN has now been collected in the seven years the Charity Real Estate Beach Volleyball Tournament has been held. The event's prime quality is that it brings the real estate sector together for the common good in an event that engenders charity, sport and friendly rivalry. The tournament’s continued success is a testament to the event's uniqueness as well as to the involvement of both organizers and participants.
