The Prize

Contribute to giving a child with a serious illness a day's vacation complete with assistance.

Every year the De Marchi Foundation organizes and finances vacations for about 40 children with serious diseases, assisted by doctors, nurses and other Foundation staff.
This is an excellent chance for children and young people undergoing treatment to get to know each other better outside the hospital in complete safety and to share their experiences of how they are dealing with serious illness, building relationships of trust between patients and doctors and to give families a week to recharge.

The purchase of unique items through an auction house requires careful evaluation by the buyer. We invite you to personally examine all the information and material at your disposal, including our returns policy, before proceeding with purchase.
