THE NETHERLANDS—Once again, Shots hosted its annual Shots Party to close out its popular Sales Week.
The party is a time for retailers and manufacturers come together and mix and mingle at the finish line of the “Nijmegen Four Day Marches.”
Each year, Shots uses the party as a way to raise money for charity. This year, instead of donating all the money to one single charity, Shots established the Shots Charity Foundation with the idea to support various little and lesser-known charities without big overheads and solely working with volunteers. In this way the full donation goes to those in need.
This year Shots, the Shots Party sponsors and the attendees raised an amount of €1402.40, which will be divided between three charities.
The first charity of choice which receives one third of the donations is De Liedjesfabriek (The Song factory), which gives sick children a positive distraction through music and song writing. Apart from working in hospitals, De Liedjesfabriek wants to go and visit children who are being taken care of at home.
To accomplish this they need a bus which will be converted into a mobile recording studio. With this bus they can take the children to their own school or club while writing and recording their own song during the trip. The other two charities of choice will be announced soon.
