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 />
