Our students have started this year's holiday season with organizing two traditional humanitarian auctions in which RIT Croatia students, faculty and staff participated.

Every year, the Student Government selects the recipients of the raised funds well in advance and then they organize both auctions in the first half of December. Items donated by RIT students, faculty and staff are auctioned off during the holiday season parties, where members of the RIT community gather and, in the true spirit of holidays, give their best to raise large amounts for a good cause.

This year, students at the Dubrovnik Campus raised 13.500,00 kn for Marijan Ogresta from Cavtat, who survived a tough car accident in 2010., and is in need of financial means to continue with his rehabilitation. Students at the Zagreb Campus decided to help out the association "Down Syndrome Zagreb" and managed to raise 10.500,00 kn. Donation is going to be used for pool therapies for babies with Down syndrome.
