The amount raised by the "Bulgarian Christmas" charity initiative in support of children in need of special medical care reached over 1,258,000 euros, the presidency announced.

Beloved Bulgarian musicians, famous journalists and athletes were on stage at the Ivan Vazov National Theater to support the nineteenth edition of the Bulgarian Christmas charity campaign. As always, the campaign was held under the auspices of the Bulgarian head of state.

"Support for the Bulgarian Christmas is an expression of sympathy not only for the children in need, but also for the efforts of doctors and parents who are dedicated to children's better future," President Rumen Radev wrote after the concert. The initiative aims at supporting the treatment of hundreds of children, as well as to provide high-tech equipment for children's wards and clinics across the country.
