Outstanding Non-Business Achievement of the Year, Poland
Charity Real Estate Beach Volleyball Tournament. Raising a staggering amount of nearly PLN 1.18 million for
Show winner profile
JLL’s flagship non-business initiative is the annual Charity Real Estate Beach Volleyball Tournament organized under the patronage of the Polish Volleyball Federation. In its ten years’ history, the tournament has established itself as the most popular lifestyle and CSR event in the Polish real estate sector's calendar. It brings together teams representing both Polish and international companies (top developers, investors, advisors , legal firms, services providers and others) in friendly competition in order to help children in need. By registering for the tournament, teams support charitable organizations, and after the games, a charity auction is held. This year's event, held on 1st August at the La Playa Music Bar in Warsaw, set an all-time record – nearly 1.18 million PLN was raised. All of the proceeds were donated to the To Rescue Children with Cancer Foundation and will enable the latest generation of medical devices for innovative cellular therapies to be purchased for the Paediatric Oncology, Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplantation clinic at the "Cape of Hope" facility in Wroclaw. In addition, scientific research and early cancer prevention programs for children will also be funded. As Przemek Pohrybieniuk, President of the Board, To Rescue Children with Cancer Foundation, underlined – it was the largest single donation in the charity's 28-year history. Every edition of the event breaks many records. The 10th Charity Tournament wasn’t the exception – apart from the total raised, the event saw the largest number of players – 420 players in 60 teams, and a record of 2,500 guests. MLP GROUP S.A., Panattoni Europe and JLL Poland took the top three places. JLL would like to thank all of the competitors, sponsors and donors for their commitment and generosity, and Panattoni Europe and Globalworth Poland which once again supported us in such a great way. In total, nearly 3.5 million PLN has been collected in the ten years’ history of the Charity Real Estate Beach Volleyball Tournament. The event's prime quality is that it brings together the business and the companies that compete with each other on a daily basis, to nobly work together to help children in need. The tournament’s continued success is a testament to the event's uniqueness as well as to the involvement of both organizers and participants. Despite this fantastic result, now is not the time to rest on one's laurels. So, soon we will start to work on next year's event. See you in 2020!
