Bulgarians living in Chicago and originally from the town of Pernik raised $4,000 to help the 8th elementary school "Krakra Pernishki" in the town near Sofia renovate its gym so that students can play sports in winter. The funds, transferred from the US to the school's account, were raised through an auction of items from Minyor Football Club, Spartak Taekwondo Club, boxing gloves belonging to brothers Kubrat and Tervel Pulev, and others.
