Jure Robič’s jersey auction

On August 31, 2010, we officially met ultramarathon cyclist Juret Robič for the last time. On this occasion, he presented his winning jersey to the Sparrow of Hope Foundation with the wish that as much money as possible be collected for it, which will be allocated to the department for disabled youth in Stara Gora.

This is how a charity online auction started on the website www.vrabcekupanja.si. The auction was planned to take place until November 6, 2010, but we faced an unexpected…

“Jure Robič, ultramarathon cyclist and ambassador of the Vrabček Upanja Foundation, had a fatal accident on Friday, September 24, 2010.”

We thought about what to do…
“Helping these children should be our basic duty. I will do my best and help. These children and this patient really deserve help,” said Jure ROBIČ, Ambassador of the Sparrow of Hope Foundation. And that is precisely why we decided to continue the auction, despite the tragic event.
We are sure that Jure would also like that…

Among all those who participated in the auction, the company Unika TTI d.o.o. offered the most for the jersey. from Postojna.
