Online Auction With The Danish Red Cross Youth
Bruun Rasmussen is once again joining forces with the Danish Red Cross Youth and holding a charity auction to raise funds for vulnerable children and young people. The auction takes place online, and the proceeds of the auction will go towards the activities to improve conditions for vulnerable children and young people. The bidding window is open from 5–14 May.
The Danish Red Cross Youth has held a large number of successful charity auctions since 2015. This year, the works and items have been donated to the auction by specially selected, renowned artists, galleries and furniture and design manufacturers. The fact that the Danish Red Cross Youth has handpicked a number of artists and designers means fewer items up for auction, but those that do feature are of the highest quality.
The Quality Just Keeps Coming
There really is plenty to bid on as the auction features both significant contemporary art and desirable classics. You’ll find furniture, lamps and furnishings from profiled companies with a history including FDB Møbler, Fredericia Furniture, Georg Jensen, House of Finn Juhl, Le Klint, Carl Hansen & Søn, Louis Poulsen and Royal Copenhagen, all known for their top-notch design. Porcelain, earthenware and stoneware, linoleum and silk prints, lithographs, paintings, collages, photographs and sculptures by names such as Martin Bigum, Bjørn Nørgaard, Jonas Pihl, Louise Hindsgaul, Mads Guldager, Mikkel Carl and Pernille Pontoppidan. And from Ole Mathiesen, not just one, but two different watches. Of the many donors, several are regular supporters of the Danish Red Cross Youth.

“These are valuable funds that are converted into efforts and activities that make a difference to some of the children and young people most in need. We really hope that people will have the opportunity and desire to submit a bid.”

The Many Activities of the Danish Red Cross Youth’s Benefit Children and Young People
Through more than 300 different activities, the Danish Red Cross Youth helps build self-esteem, drive and the will to face life in more than 10,000 vulnerable children and young people in Denmark and around the world. And the money raised is both targeted and much needed. The Danish Red Cross Youth contributes, among other things, to activities for children and young people in hospital, children exposed to domestic violence staying at crisis centres, and homework cafés in disadvantaged residential areas. The Danish Red Cross Youth also organises more than 20 holiday camps a year, providing a much-needed respite for 1,400 children and young people.
