Villavecchia Foundation Charity Christmas Market
"Being able to count on someone is the magic that unites us all." This is one of the mottos of the Enriqueta Villavecchia Foundation, which since 1989 has supported children and young people with serious illnesses, assisted their families, and promoted advances in care, research, and training in collaboration with leading pediatric hospitals.
Taking advantage of the proximity of the Christmas holidays, the Solidarity Christmas Market represents an opportunity to collect donations that help maintain the Foundation's programs and lines of work, as well as being a meeting point for patients, volunteers and friends of this charitable organization.
The Villavecchia Foundation's charity market has been held since 2011 and is the perfect place to find a wide selection of handmade items and Christmas-inspired gifts. Children and young people supported by the Foundation and their families participate, along with schools, organizations, businesses, and, as always, our wonderful team of volunteers.
All proceeds from the Christmas Market Solidari go to the Villavecchia Foundation's programs for the care of children and young people with cancer or other serious illnesses, and to the support of their families.
The space for the Solidarity Christmas Market is organized into several "corners":
- Christmas Corner: Decorations and products related to the Christmas holidays. Many of these items are handmade by volunteers and collaborators.
- Natural Corner: All kinds of natural home decor options for the Holidays.
- Gourmet Corner: Delicious products offered by renowned brands and collaborating companies.
- Charity Gifts: Quality packs and items donated by renowned companies. Our "Chocolate to Support Life" and the sweetest Christmas chocolate will also be available.
- The World of Stars: Articles made by families of children and young people we accompany, all with the star as a symbol of the children we have cared for and who have left us.
We encourage you to collaborate!
