"The Cure is in us!" - A National Humanitarian Campaign
The campaign was launched on Ana's birthday, March 28, 2007, with the grand opening of the public cord blood bank at the Rebro hospital, in Zagreb.
On the same day, the second big humanitarian concert for the Ana Rukavina Foundation was held in Osijek with performances by Aki Rahimovski, Dado Topić & Dragonfly, Raspashow, Pips, Chips & Videoclips, Divlje Jagode, Vatra and Gužva u 16ercu. View pictures from the concert
The Foundation's national campaign "The Cure is in us!" is made up of three projects:
- PROJECT 'I WANT LIFE' - we campaign for the collection of blood samples
- PROJECT 'KUNA FOR A DROP OF LIFE' - we collect funds for the HLA tissue typing of the collected blood samples
- PROJECT 'BANKING FOR THE BANK' - we raise funds to equip and run private and public cord blood banks
We invite you to join our projects!
