The second edition of the social-consumer campaign “Heart Grows” organised by the Wawel brand has come to an end. The initiative, in which everyone could help by buying sweets with a heart symbol, involved almost 100,000 consumers. Across two editions of the consumer programme, Wawel has already allocated over PLN 2.6 million to charity organisations.

The second edition of the social and consumer action “Heart Grows” organised by the Wawel brand has come to an end. As part of the initiative, consumers, via a dedicated website www.sercerosnie.com.pl, registered codes from the packaging of sweets marked with a heart and collected guaranteed prizes. The action made it possible to support five charity organisations participating in the programme: The Anna Dymna “Mimo wszystko” Foundation, the “Wawel z Rodziną” Foundation, the “Wiosna” Association with the “Akademia Przyszłości” programme, the “Poza Horyzonty” Foundation of Jasiek Mela and the Foundation “Akogo?”.

Thanks to the involvement of consumers, Wawel will donate as much as PLN 1,133,839 to charity. The awards ceremony will take place on 7 March.

The Wawel company has a long tradition of charitable activities. At the beginning of the 20th century, part of the profit from the sale of Wawel’s Lotnicza chocolate was donated to social causes. Wishing to continue charitable activities in 2008, Wawel established the “Wawel z Rodziną” Foundation, whose goal is to support needy families and people providing foster care for children and to provide them with social assistance – including equal educational opportunities.
