Luxembourg shopping centre La Belle Etoile has awarded the Fondation Kriibskrank Kanner a cheque for 15,086 from the proceeds of its “Love is…” initiative.

The children’s cancer foundation has received 15,086 as a result of La Belle Etoile’s “Love is…” event which took place from Thursday 9 to Tuesday 14 February 2017.

The initiative involved selling red padlocks each for €10 which could then be hung on a large heart-shaped sculpture in the lead-up to Valentine’s Day and the day before the International Day against Childhood Cancer.

In total, 1,089 padlocks were sold, thus raising the sum of 15,086.
