Santa Claus Day with TriMama Charity Run

19.12.2018

The English Division Paediatric Oncology Scientific Circle (EDPOC) organised a Mikolajki event for the Paediatric Oncology and Hematology Department. Donations were made by Natalia from TriMama organisation, the Student Council and the toy company Czu Czu.

Children had a chance to play Christmas themed games, arts and crafts, decorate gingerbread cookies, make cotton snowmen, and even meet Santa. Young patients had the opportunity to see how the holidays are celebrated in various countries around the world thanks to photos provided by students. They also received a special Christmas message from primary school children in Thailand. TriMama was generous enough to donate fluffy stuffed bears, books and toys for presents. With financial support from the MUG’s Student Council, gifts and advent calendars were included in each present. The Czu Czu company was gracious enough to donate some amazing games and books for each of the children.

Whatsmore, after having a very successful charity run, Natalia from TriMama donated all the money collected from “Piątka od serca”, with more than 20,000 PLN going to the Paediatric Oncology and Hematology Department. In addition to money, Department also received a body composition analyzer.

The event was an excellent opportunity for integration between patients and students. EDPOC plans on continuing this hard work for future events.
