Dar serca Boat cruise 2015<br />
On Sunday, June 28th 2015, Gift from the Heart<br />
Foundation (Dar Serca) celebrated its 4th annual<br />
charity boat cruise – which was a huge success! A<br />
sunny and warm Chicago Sunday sky embraced<br />
the event with perfect weather, remarkable people,<br />
great food and tons of fun. Nearly 500 guests were<br />
in attendance, including special guest, International<br />
Boxing champion, Andrzej Fonfara and several<br />
current Dar Serca children and their parents, who had<br />
a magnificent time enjoying the company of loyal Dar<br />
Serca’s supporters. The event was co-lead by Junior<br />
board Vice President, Diana Lebiecki, and fellow Junior<br />
board member, Andrzej Wolosewicz.<br />
The luxurious Mystic Blue yacht featured 4<br />
amazing floors of festivities, including a spacious<br />
outdoor sundeck where all enjoyed the perfect 80<br />
degree weather, complemented with music by DJ<br />
Roman KW who cheered the crowd to let loose, dance<br />
and have a good time. Many were happy winners of a<br />
fabulous raffle prize lottery (which successfully sold<br />
out of tickets – nearly double from last year) where<br />
proceeds directly benefit the Dar Serca kids.<br />
Dar serca is a charitable organization in<br />
existence for over 27 years that has helped over 700<br />
children from Poland/Eastern Europe receive lifesaving<br />
medical treatments they could not otherwise get in<br />
their home countries. These children are brought to<br />
the USA from Poland where they receive specialized<br />
medical treatments including spine correction, limb<br />
lengthening, tumor removal, etc.<br />
Dar Serca also assists with housing, transportation,<br />
translation and other basic living needs and expenses<br />
during the treatment process.<br />
