Thank you very much for the gifts for our orphanage. Despite the pandemic and the impossibility of meeting at the ball, New Style made sure that the long-standing tradition continued. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and hope that in 2022 we will meet as before at a wonderful ball. Ewa Pruchnicka Director of the Children’s Home in Sanok The New Year’s Charity Ball is a well known event in the Podkarpacie region. For over 20 years, Nowy Styl has been inviting children from children’s homes, schools and education centres, care centres, organisations working with the disabled and foster families to celebrate together. The event is an opportunity to have a great time, but also to integrate and learn. Every year, the company comes up with an interesting theme to arouse new passions in our little guests and encourage their development. A highlight of the New Year’s Charity Ball is a visit from Santa Claus, who hands round gifts that the guests asked for in their letters. These often include financial support for the stat- utory activities of a foundation helping children, field trips or furnishings for childcare institutions. In 2020, the event was attended by over 1,100 people. As usual, the participants had a great time, enjoyed the gifts and could meet exceptional guests, who this year The Foundation, established in 2002, is running an educa- tional and recreational centre in Odporyszów.

The biggest surprise came with a video from Robert Lewandowski, who had a special message for our guests. In 2021, the purpose remained the same – support for children’s homes, and care and educational institutions in Podkarpacie, but because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic our support took a different form. We collected information about the needs of the families, institutions and organisations that we had invited to the Ball in the previous years, and we prepared gifts in cash and in kind for them. We are aware that it is important for both the managers of the institutions and their charges that the event is held so regularly. As we find out every year, the Ball occupies a special place in the lives of our guests. We hope we can return to organising it in the traditional form. it a lively and vibrant place. To make young people’s stay at the centre even more attractive and comfortable, we helped the Foundation furnish a screening room. A year later a dining room, a cafe point and a foyer of the screening room were refurbished thanks to our support. forms of education that children find most accessible.
