INFORMATION ABOUT EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
SUPPORTED IN VARIOUS AREAS:

HEALTH PROTECTION AND PROMOTION

The main assistance project for the University Children's Hospital in Košice was the donation of a whole-body ultra-sound machine with accessories, 45 PC sets and three printers, all intended for speeding up and improving the quality of diagnostics for children.

The USSK Foundation purchased the equipment having contributed the sum of 36 790.51 EUR and combined this with the proceeds of voluntary fundraising among USSK employees (36 791.24 EUR) also matched by a contribution from the company U. S. Steel Košice (36 791.24 EUR). USSK subsidiary OBAL - SERVIS, a.s. also supported this good cause with the sum of 1 505 EUR. The gift with a total value of 111 877.99 EUR was presented at the beginning of 2015 for the early benefit of the hospital doctors and their little patients.

Danielko was one of the first patients who underwent medical examination by means of the ultrasound machine, carried out by the pediatric cardiologist Dr. Marta Herichová 

EDUCATION AND EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

This is intended for supporting the higher education studies of talented children of U. S. Steel employees as well as talented students from socially disadvantaged backgrounds studying at technical colleges and universities. The program promotes students who, in addition to their studies, are engaged in various social support activities, and at the same time this motivates high school students to achieve better study results, since their inclusion in the program also depends on their achievements.

 We support talented students of U. S. Steel employees

SOCIAL AND HUMANITARIAN AID

The Foundation has helped the St. Klement Hofbauer Foster Home in Podolínec to improve its care for the boys and girls through public fund-raising based on the second edition of a special USSK Family Cookbook, full of well-tested Slovak and American recipes for various dishes. Proceeds from the collection will be used by the Foster Home to purchase and reconstruct a small house to provide temporary accommodation for young adults whose constitutional care rights have expired.

The project with a long tradition in this area is the "Wishing Tree" project, which tries to fulfill the wishes of children in foster homes as well as families of employees of U. S. Steel Košice, who find themselves in a difficult situation - a long-term illness or death of a parent.

The Foundation has also supported two Half-Way Homes for the first time - in Košice and in Prešov, where young adults, former children in care of a foster home, can take refuge.

PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT

In this area the Foundation mainly works with the grant program named Your chance to play.
The program focuses on supporting children whose families do not have sufficient funds to finance their sports activities. In the school year 2014/2015 we also gave more opportunities to young talented sporting people from among the children of employees of U. S. Steel Košice and its subsidiaries, namely in the selected team sports of ice-hockey, basketball and soccer, and other sports on an individual basis.
