Let's offer children and the elderly the gift of a New Year celebration!

13 december 2021

SIBUR and its Formula for Good Deeds social investment program have announced the launch of their annual "Get to be a Santa Claus!" charitable campaign to help fulfill New Year wishes of people experiencing difficulties in their lives.

This year we invite employees of the company’s Corporate Center to support this campaign in two ways: help with fulfilling children's wishes and help set up a festive New Year’s Eve table for lonely senior citizens.

Anyone can get to be a Santa Claus! We invite our employees, partners, customers and all caring individuals to take part in the campaign!

• Check out what children's wishes are on the Formula for Good Deeds program’s website at https://www.formula-hd.ru/stan-dedom-morozom/
• Pick a wish that you are willing to help fulfill.
• Purchase a gift and put it in a festive bag/wrapping and inscribe the child's name and the institution's name on it in beautiful lettering.
• Take your gift to Building 16/1, office 501.

Option 2 is to help organize the New Year's Party for the elderly:

The Constanta Charitable Foundation was established in June 2011 in Tver. The main focus of its work is to provide comprehensive assistance to families in distress and to orphanage leavers. Its priority is to ensure that children get raised in a family, and, therefore, it is important to help parents overcome their difficulties in order to keep the family together and for children to have a happy childhood. Employees of the Corporate Center have been helping the foundation's charges as part of charitable "Going Back to School" and "Get to be a Santa Claus!" campaigns since 2020.

Over the recent years, the foundation has helped create patronage services providing home care for the elderly.
