The „Gift a Bear for Rescue – A Smile in Every Ambulance” campaign is incredibly important because children who find themselves in ambulances are often frightened and stressed by the difficult situation. Such moments can be particularly traumatic for them. A teddy bear, though a small gesture, can play a huge role – it provides a sense of security, distracts from the stress, and brings a smile. Through this initiative, we aim to help children feel at least a little calmer and make their time in the ambulance less overwhelming. Every bear that reaches a young patient is a source of support they might need in these challenging moments.
Supporting Civic Attitudes
and Pro-European Values
The Bon Ton Foundation is a dynamic platform whose main goal is to promote civic attitudes and support European integration. Since its inception, our foundation has focused on building a society that actively participates in public life and is engaged in democratic processes.
Our work is based on several key values:
Civic Education
We believe in the importance of education as a tool for shaping civic attitudes. Therefore, we organize various trainings, workshops, and meetings aimed at increasing social awareness of civic duties and rights.
Promoting Social Dialogue
We advocate for open, constructive social dialogue. We strive to create spaces where diverse voices can be heard and considered, leading to better understanding and compromises.
Support for European Integration
In the face of contemporary global challenges, including migration crises, climate change, and threats to democracy, we believe that a strong and united Europe is the best response. Therefore, we engage in actions supporting European integration and promote the idea of solidarity among European nations.
Civic Culture and Ethics
All actions taken by our foundation are based on ethical values and respect for human rights. We strive to promote a civic culture based on respect for diversity, tolerance, and cooperation.
Active Social Engagement
We do not limit ourselves to promoting ideas but also engage in concrete social actions. We support social initiatives, organize informational campaigns, and work towards specific social goals that align with our mission.
Combating Social Exclusion
The Bon Ton Foundation undertakes actions aimed at combating social exclusion by initiating integration programs, supporting marginalized groups, and promoting equal opportunities. We believe that building a society based on solidarity requires active involvement in eliminating all forms of exclusion and discrimination, so that every citizen can feel equal and valued member of the community.
