The main idea of Give Together is based on organizing fun and creative fundraising events by employees, as a way of raising money for local charities. In 2018 we organized many actions: food and book sales, online auctions, sports, and computer games tournaments, Short Movie Festival and many more. We collected near 69 thousand PLN and we helped our 26 beneficiaries. Give Time Together has a different aim – instead of raising the money we spend our own time to help others. Thanks to their initiative, over 250 Sabre employees were engaged in 16 different activities like cleaning Gorce Mountains, gardening, painting, and cleanup works in Harbutowice shelter or work in the storehouse at Kokotów.
