The auction is held for the benefit of the Trampoline House, which for almost 10 years has served as a meeting place for refugees with a focus on preparing them for citizenship through job training and cultural events. All the proceeds from the auction will go towards the Trampoline House’s work with refugees, and Bruun Rasmussen will not be charging fees from buyers or sellers in connection with the auction.
