Charity campaign "It Still Exists"

It Still Exists – a New Year’s tradition for me, you and the whole city! The idea for the “It Still Exists” campaign dates back to Eliso Gegenava, a member of the organization at the time. She independently helped socially vulnerable large families with only one parent. After Eliso spread this idea throughout the organization, the organization’s members quickly adopted it and gave it a larger scale. Over time, many traditions have formed around the “It Still Exists” campaign, and it has become a traditional charity event of the whole city, with traditional participants. Preparations for the campaign begin in November, in which members of the organization, volunteers and elves join in order to help as many families as possible. The organization’s volunteers make handmade items, bake muffins, make hot chocolate and start collecting donations by selling them throughout the city. The members of the organization are working on sponsorships, looking for companies that will support the event with products or money.
