We have established a donation fund through the rzutka platform. If you are able to donate some money to this fund, your donation will be used to help elderly Szygenda cousins afford the Nowy Folwark fee for the reunion meal and refreshments. If you wish to donate, click on the button to the left.

 

What will the funds be spent on?

Your contribution will go towards the common reunion honorarium endowment fund, which will finance:

• The Reunion honorarium endowment fund covering participation costs for elderly Szygenda people in a more difficult financial situation.

• Every Szygenda person age 60 and older that desires assistance with the Nowy Folwark fee will only pay half-price because the honorarium endowment fund will pay for half of their fee.

Thank you for all your support!

Every złoty brings us closer to seeing a full complement of smiling faces in Nowy Folwark. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, openness, and for sharing the history of the Szygenda family.

See you on September 6th "On the Edge of the Forest"!

Share the fundraiser!

Our primary goal is integration . We want the 3rd World Reunion to be a celebration of all Szygendas. We know that for some elderly Szygenda cousins, the cost of participation at the 3rd World Szygenda Family Reunion may be an insurmountable barrier. We don't want finances to be the deciding factor in whether someone attends this family event at Nowy Folwark. This fundraiser is an expression of our family solidarity – those of us who can afford to donate some money to assist elderly Szygenda people – will ensure everyone’s participation.

 

Na Skraju Lasu

1 Mostowa St., 62-300 Września

Nowy Folwark

The Szygenda Family Gathering will take place outdoors in the garden of the Na Skraju Lasu venue. It's worth bringing warmer outer clothing for the evening and comfortable shoes (we'll be dancing on the grass!).

The Na Skraju Lasu property offers several rooms for event guests. We recommend checking availability directly and comparing rates with other nearby hotels. Please make your own reservations!

The celebration starts at 12:00 p.m. and goes on as long as we have the energy :) The cost per person over 10 years old is 155 PLN. Children up to 4 years old pay 0 PLN, and those from 5 to 9 years old pay 30% - 50 PLN. This includes: army pea soup, grilled meats, salad, potatoes, and other sides, as well as coffee and tea. The entire event will be staffed by the facility’s employees.

We want this event to be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial means. We have a plan to assist any retired member of the Szygenda family who has concerns about the fee.

Every Szygenda person age 60 and older that desires assistance with the Nowy Folwark fee will only pay half-price because the honorarium endowment fund will pay for half of their fee.
