The informal Club of Honorary Blood Donors ENERGA “Kropelka Energii”, operating as an employee initiative in the largest energy company in northern Polish, has been effectively helping to save human life and health since 2012. Currently, it operates as the Kropelka Energii Foundation. Tomek and Piotrek, Energa’s employees, who contributed to the creation of this noble initiative, wanted from the very beginning to make Kropelka Energii available to every donor. The establishment of the foundation is therefore the realization of their dream. As they say, during the organization of the first blood donation campaign, on August 8, 2012, they had many fears about the future.

– Thank you very much for trusting us then. Remember that… “It is a great honor to be a Giver.” We would like this motto to also encourage everyone to act and help other people – say Tomasz Rubanowicz and Piotr Krysiński, President and Vice-President of the Management Board of the “Kropelka Energii” Foundation.

During the five years of the Club’s operation, Energa Group employees and their friends collected almost 830 litres of blood, including 244 litres in 2016. From one action to the next, the number of people who decide to share the most precious gift of life is growing. So are the needs of the health service.

– The demand for blood and its components is constantly increasing. The change in the form of the club’s functioning was necessary to expand the organizational possibilities resulting from the need to develop this project. I am very pleased with the great support we have received from the employees of the Energa Group. It was thanks to them that we were motivated to strive to achieve our goal – says Tomasz Rubanowicz. ” We cannot fail to thank all the partners of Kropelka Energii, without them we would not be where we are today ,” adds Piotr Krysiński.
