Kosice, December 7, 2005 - The concerts on the occasion of the most beautiful holidays of the year, organized by U. S. Steel Kosice, have already become a
several year tradition. The Christmas concert with the characteristic title Generous snowflakes is a symbol of generousness of metallurgists, regularly promoting those who need our aid.
U. S. Steel Kosice employees have this time contributed with a financial collection dedicated to the East Slovakia oncological institute in Kosice and they are endowing this
institute already for the second time in the history. Together with a contribution from the company they have collected the sum of SKK 2 529 648.
These financial means are helping at the purchase of an automatic block carver - a device preventing from damage of sound tissue during radium therapy of carcinoms.
Miroslav Kiralvarga, U. S. Steel Kosice Vice President, is handing over a symbolic check to Alexander Berc, Director of East Slovakia oncological institute during the Christmas concert,
at the State theatre in Kosice on December 9, at 7:00 p.m.
U. S. Steel Kosice has dedicated tens of millions of crowns to various projects in East Slovakia. The last weeks tell symbolically, when the firm
celebrates 5 anniversary of operations in Slovakia. Five successful years represent 5 millions of crowns dedicated for further institutions. U. S. Steel Kosice is
devoting 1 million of crowns at the Christmas concert to the purchase of children books for twelve libraries of East Slovakia. The same sum is heading to children's homes, supported by the
company regularly not only financially, but also with the collections of toys or children's participation in various sports and entertaining events. The company is investing one million of crowns
into the campaign Professionals act safely, within the framework of which it is helping more schools. Remaining two millions represent means devoted to culture. Company President David H. Lohr
has recently handed over symbolical checks for SKK 1 million to the State Philharmonic Orchestra Kosice and the State theatre in Kosice.
