Charity concerts were held on 15th and 16th December, with tickets sold at a symbolic price of EUR 1.60 (MKD 100). One of these was also the grand celebration organized at Macedonian Opera and Ballet, where the popular sho 5+ Family (5+ Фамилија) put on a performance together with children with disabilities.

The EUR 45,000 allocated so far will be used to support the work of these organizations throughout a period of several months, or in regular instance long-term.
