OREANDA-NEWS. July 29, 2013. The amount of Rb 25,865 was collected by the Uniastrum Bank employees during the two weeks of the charity event “Odd money can save a human life”.

The centers of acceptance of odd money were organized in the Head Office and four flagship offices of Uniastrum Bank in Moscow. The Bank’s employees and all people who wished could bring to the acceptance centers odd money and coins for which special boxes were placed.

All the collected funds were given by Uniastrum Bank to The Line of Life Foundation for treatment of Ilya Gorbunov, born in 1996 in the Bryansk region, who suffers from a grave scoliosis of the spine bone.

The Line of Life charity foundation set up for saving the lives of children with grave diseases conducts a city event “Odd money can save a human life” twice a year. In the framework of the charity event, the Foundation organizes its own centers of acceptance of odd money, and teams of different companies also take part in this event.

“The charity event inside our bank was timed to coincide with the International Day for Protection of Children, says Acting CEO of Uniastrum Bank Lidia Bormashova. - The Bank has been cooperating with The Line of Life Foundation for quite a long time already, but it is for the first time that we take part in the “Odd money can save a human life” event. The idea of this event - that each kopeck may be spent usefully if we unite our efforts for the sake of an act of kindness – appeals to us very much. Many of our employees responded to this idea with great enthusiasm, and we thank them for participation and sympathy”.
