On Thursday 5 September, the Gerundium Fest Association handed over a cheque for €3,000 to Cellina von Mannstein of Birra FORST. This amount is the first major contribution donated to charity in the run-up to the 1st OktoberFORST.

Long-standing friendships often lead to shared concerns and interests, as is the case with the 21st Gerundium Fest, held in the Bergamo province of Casirate d'Adda. The event organizers welcomed Cellina von Mannstein from Birra FORST with a cheque for €3,000 for the non-profit organization 'L'Alto Adige aiuta' and wished her luck and success for the first OktoberFORST, also a charity event.

The cheque handed over by the Gerundium Fest Association will be added to the funds that Birra FORST enthusiastically raises every year for the charity association ‘L'Alto Adige aiuta’. This amount will be added to the donations collected for the charity auction on 27 September, the opening day of the 1st OktoberFORST, and all other charitable activities during the event.
