Kopenhagen Fur supports charity
25 March 2008
Kopenhagen Fur participated in the recently concluded Danish Gala Ball in Beijing, by offering a mink briefcase for live auction. For several years, Kopenhagen Fur has offered a mink item for this charity-oriented event. The mink briefcase started at 6,000 yuan (850 USD), and fetched 8,000 yuan (1,134 USD) at the end.
This is the 12th edition of the Danish Gala Ball, a tradition much cherished and celebrated by the Danish community and international community in Beijing. 420 guests were present at this lively event, witnessing the hot bidding for dozens of auction items donated by various companies that aim to be corporate citizens. The auctions and other activities in the Ball raised close to a million yuan (142,000 USD) that are destined for charity courses in China.
In the last two years, part of the proceeds has been used to build schools in western China.
