July 27, 2018

On 2nd August, the La Playa Music Bar in Warsaw will host the IX Charity Real Estate Beach Volleyball Tournament, organized by JLL. This year's event will be attended by a record-breaking number of teams – 56. As has been the case in previous years, the Polish Volleyball Federation has taken on honorary patronage over the event.

Each year, the tournament attracts a wide range of leaders from the real estate industry - developers, advisory firms, construction companies, investment funds as well as law firms and banks. All funds raised from team registration fees, and an auction of items from sponsors and individual donations collected on the day will be donated to Stowarzyszenie Rodziców i Przyjaciół Dzieci Niewidomych i Słabowidzących "Tęcza" (The Rainbow Association of Parents and Friends of the Blind and Visually Impaired Children). The aim is to support the modernization of the Children's Center and construction of a sensory therapy garden which will be situated alongside the building. Any remaining funds will go towards the purchase of ophthalmologist diagnostic equipment.

"Over the event's eight years, we have collected nearly 1.56 million PLN, which has been entirely donated to eight different children's foundations and charities. Each edition has been a record breaker in terms of the number of teams, sponsors and partners, and most importantly of all - money raised. We really do hope that this year we will collect even more. I am glad that, along with other leaders from the real estate sector, we have been able to create a format that combines a healthy rivalry for a noble cause in an annual event that is hotly anticipated by many. And the most important thing is that we can help children in need on an annual basis", says Tomasz Trzósło, Managing Director at JLL.

A record-breaking 379,210 PLN was raised during the eighth edition of the Charity Real Estate Beach Volleyball Tournament, 48 teams and 336 players took part in tournament while a total of 1,500 people attended the event.
