ZapSibNeftekhim completed its "Get to Be a Santa Claus!” campaign

29 december 2022

SIBUR’s Tobolsk-based enterprise has just seen its traditional charity event dubbed "Get to Be a Santa Claus!” through to the end. For the fifth year in a row, ZapSibNeftekhim’s employees worked hard to fulfill the wishes of children with disabilities and those who come from low-income families in Tobolsk and the Tobolsk District.

On the New Year's Eve, corporate Santas and Snow Maidens were bringing gifts to the wards of Tobolsk-based chapters of the All-Russian Society of the Disabled, the All-Russian Society of the Blind, the All-Russian Society of the Deaf, and to children whose families are going through a difficult period in their lives.

One could take part in the campaign either by fulfilling a child's wish or by donating money to buy gifts. The campaign was joined by about 80 employees of the company who, through their joint effort, managed to help 139 children.

Toward the end of the campaign corporate volunteers dressed as Santas and Snow Maidens led festive ceremonies where they presented their beautifully wrapped gifts to children at the institutions where the children are staying so that they could then join in the celebrations. Some of the children were dress in New Year’s costumes, sharing their joy and smiles with the volunteers.

-      In keeping with our good old tradition, we organize cheerful New Year's Eve parties for children, wearing the costumes of Santas and their Snow Maidens, giving out our gifts to the children. We are elated to see how excited the children are and how happy our employees are to collect presents, sometimes joining in as whole departments. This teaches us that anything in life is possible, you just have to want it happen! We would like to thank all our employees for answering the call and helping arrange a true festivity, Elena Belskaya, Head of ZapSibNeftekhim's Department of government relations and social and economic projects, noted.

We would like to express our gratitude to SIBUR for offering us the opportunity to see the shining happy eyes of all these children and their parents. We were all children once; we believed in Santa Claus, or Father Frost, we made our wishes and hoped that they would come true. This is not the first time you have successfully accomplished this and we want to thank you for that! May you have more of such successful and wonderful events! Natalia Varavko, Chair of the All-Russian Society of the Disabled, commented.
