Avaron supports the Carolin Illenzeer Foundation
Every year at Christmas, Avaron financially supports youth education and sports-related activities. Over the years, we have given our financial contribution to eleven foundations whose activities and values are important to us.
We gave the 2024 Christmas donation to the Carolin Illenzeer Foundation which supports the education of children of Estonian Defense Force families where a father or mother has died in service or was seriously injured. The foundation was established in 2005 by a group of officers to support the education of the daughter of a defense soldier Arre Illenzeer, who died in mission. Over time it grew into a foundation which today supports 74 children of the Estonian Defense Forces. The grant money goes mainly to support the children’s school and university journey, to participate in sports camps and to organize a joint family day for the children. According to the CEO of the foundation, Iti Aavik, children find it important to have a joint family day, which brings together children with a similar loss. In 2024 September 55 children received school start support and university scholarships in the amount of 46,650 euros. The patron of the foundation is the President of the Republic of Estonia, Alar Karis.
