Event under the Honorary Patronage of the President of the City of Chorzów - Szymon Michałek

Dear Ones, we cordially invite you to a special evening, which is a very important step in the fight for the health of my Son Viktor Sakowski. Victor needs a complicated and extremely expensive scoliosis surgery in the United States. Since childhood, he has been suffering from cerebral palsy and many concomitant diseases. However, the factor that forced us to set up a collection and ask for help is the rapidly progressing scoliosis, which is growing at a rate that threatens the life of My Son. The cost of treatment is astronomical and due to the severity of the curvature has increased drastically recently, so we would be immensely grateful if you would join an event where together we can do great things for Victor! It will be an evening full of deep emotion, music and beautiful art. The main point of the program will be auctions of unique paintings, which were selflessly donated to Wiktor by outstanding local artists from the well-known Chorzów artistic group Krajcok'12! Their talents will combine to give Victor the chance to live a normal life without progressive pain. We can boast that the paintings will be put up for auction by: Adam Lempa (who will also be the master of the ceremony and will lead the auction), Jolanta Drosdzol, Monika Kukuła, Ewa Godula, Ewa Błaszczyk, Krystyna Ptaszek, Dorota Sochowska, Jacek Szaleniec, Renata Kuszka, Irena Szortyka, Anna Czajkowska, Barbara Kozyra, Ewa Pilarz, Elżbieta Mądry, Zbigniew Zajac. In addition, we have also acquired the works of Artists not related to the Krajcok group, who mark their presence in the art world by creating paintings and graphics in different styles and aesthetics - Kaja Renkas, Henrieta Oczko and Jarosław Kassner will also join the group of donors. For lovers of musical vinyl media, there will be a couple of gems that will be donated from their own resources by friends of the Gallery of Music and Image Art. A treat for fans of autographs will be posters with the signatures of the performers of the last edition of Chorzów Vinyl Fest - The Cassino group, LAB and Marcin Pendowski. Marta Król also gave us her latest album. The musical accent of the evening, which will undoubtedly enhance the artistic value of the event, will be a mini-concert performed by Dorota Banàs (electric violin). The famous singer from the K-Essence group - Bartek Księżyk will also perform on the stage, accompanied by Olga Naliwajko. A truly emotional event with a noble purpose is being prepared. We will be pleased to welcome you with delicious coffee, which will be provided by Manuel Cafe and snacks.

With pride and great gratitude we announce that our event has been placed under the Honorary Patronage of the Mayor of the City of Chorzów Szymon Michałek

In addition, during the event there will be an opportunity to purchase bracelets that Viktor makes with his own hands. It is his active contribution to the collection and the method to ward off the hardships of the disease he is struggling with. By purchasing such a bracelet, you will be able to add a brick to Victor's collection and his fight for a better tomorrow!

You don't have to wait until October to help him get back on his feet - the collection continues from the moment the event is released, and every paid “brick” will be welcome.
