Arricano Real Estate LLC has organized blood donation in Prospekt shopping mall for the third time, for the second time with the support of DonorUA. 

On June 15, specially for the World Donor Day, Prospekt shopping mall initiated blood donation to give life to military and civilian patients of Kyivska region.  Donated blood is a critical resource for medical needs and helps save many lives every day. 

In just a few hours, 67 people out of more than 100 visitors and partners willing to join an important initiative became donors. According to doctors of the Kyiv Regional Blood Service Center, more than 200 lives of Ukrainians will potentially be saved thanks to a socially important blood donation campaign in Prospekt shopping mall. 

"Every year, more and more people join the donation in Prospekt shopping mall — this is a great trend that demonstrates that the blood donation procedure can and should go beyond the usual medical offices. In addition, people are not always ready to take time to specially come to the medical center, spend time in the queue, undergo an examination, and in the Arricano shopping mall this can be done in a few minutes, and then have a delicious lunch on the food court. During online registration for a donation, you can choose the most convenient time for you and come according to the record,”said Inna Morozova, Marketing Director of Arricano. 

The partners of the initiative: Greek House, Auchan Ukraine and Sushiya, treated donors with hearty fresh sandwiches, fruits, chocolate, cookies and drinks. Visitors shared that for someone this is the first donation, and someone gives blood regularly and does it already for the 12th time. They came with their family, friends, even those who did not register in advance, which pleasantly surprised the organizers. 

"Of the 5 donations made on World Donor Day, we collected the largest volume of blood at the donation in Prospekt shopping mall. We thank all those who joined! During a full-scale war, the need for blood is huge and constant, and such events help to attract the attention of as many people as possible to the topic of donation. We make it visible and prove that it is not difficult or scary to donate blood, "comments Iryna Slavinska, co-founder of DonorUA and President of the All-Ukrainian Association of Donors of Ukraine.
In addition, Arricano continues to support and assist the Armed Forces of Ukraine: in April, the developer transferred to the Ukrainian military, who defend our country every day, two EcoFlow charging stations, as well as provided the soldiers with tactical medicine. In May, the CITY MALL transmitted three multi-frequency signal amplifiers and camouflage cloaks for the military of the 110th Separate Brigade of the TDF 111 Battalion, which performs combat missions in the Kupiansk direction. 

Arricano continued the annual tradition of uniting the community of its shopping malls at an authentic event for the Vyshyvanka Day. Prospekt shopping mall, together with visitors and the NGO "Vilne zhyttia - svitle maibutnie", collected UAH 35 thousand in a few hours of the event to help the 20th Separate Special Forces Brigade and the 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade.  
Before that, Prospekt shopping mall, together with the Spravzhni Ukraintsi Charitable Foundation, within the framework of the large-scale social project "Zelenyi kviten: Den dovkillia", collected more than UAH 51 thousand of donations during a charitable performance of the military orchestra of the 101st Separate Brigade of the General Staff of Ukraine named after Colonel-General Hennadii Vorobiov. The funds were used to purchase the necessary equipment for the needs of the 101st Separate Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 

In addition, Arricano, together with the community of Prospekt and RayON shopping malls, the Dobriak Charitable Foundation, fulfilled 48 dreams of children from the Union of Large Families "SHCHASLYVA". In May, the developer organized charitable initiatives "Podarui shchaslyvu myt" in two of his Kyiv shopping malls, because in conditions of war, children need even more of our love and care. So for almost a month, the galleries of shopping malls were decorated with dream trees. Every visitor to the shopping mall had the opportunity to choose a flower card on it, which contained brief information about the child, his/her photo and wishes, and make the kid's dream come true. The campaign was supported by such socially responsible companies as: Puma, Auchan Ukraine, "Budynok Ihrashok", "Sushiya", "Tekhno Yizhak", Adidas, Decathlon, Discounterra, Watsons. Through the joint efforts of Arricano, partners and visitors, all children from the Union of Large Families "SHCHASLYVA" received gifts. It is symbolic that the period of the initiative fell between Family Day and Children's Day.
