The «GLOBAL2000» CHARITABLE FOUNDATION took part for the first time in a charity auction at the legendary Dorotheum — one of the oldest auction houses in the world, founded by Emperor Joseph I back in 1707. Its historic headquarters is still located in the very heart of Vienna, on Dorotheergasse, in a magnificent building where the most honest and reliable auctions in Europe have been taking place for more than three centuries.
For us, this is the highest level of trust and an enormous professional experience for which we are incredibly grateful.
16 lots, 16 good stories
The auction brought together 16 special lots from global stars of art, sports and culture. Among them:
❤️ a signed tennis racket from Elina Svitolina
❤️ Vitali Klitschko’s boxing gloves
❤️ a coffee meeting with Barbara Schöchl and her signed book
❤️ the conductor’s baton of Oksana Lyniv
❤️ a work by Ivan Marchuk
❤️ the official T-shirt of the Austrian national football team signed by the players
❤️ other artistic and unique items donated by well-known personalities especially to support Ukrainian children.
And this is only part of the full list — in fact, every lot was special.
In the last minutes before the auction ended, real bidding battles began. The artistic lots caused intense competition — the bids kept rising, and it was fantastic to watch.
The highest bid for a single lot reached 13,000 euros (a work by artist Arnulf Rainer). And all lots were sold!
Together we raised 30,000 euros.
All funds will go to support children in frontline Kharkiv.
✨ We thank the auction organizers for the incredible effort, preparation, and for bringing so many kind-hearted people together yesterday.
✨ We thank everyone who helped collect the lots. Working with athletes, artists, writers, musicians — this is tremendous work, and it delivered a wonderful result.
✨ We thank all who bid, raised stakes and purchased the lots. You made not only a financial contribution — you gave children the feeling of warmth and care.
✨ And a special thanks to the Dorotheum team — for professionalism, integrity and trust. For us, this was the first experience participating in such a prestigious auction, and it turned out to be truly significant and touching.
