Mr. Evert van de Poll, owner of the Van Gelder Group, the infrastructure partner of the Netherlands, recently turned 80.
For his birthday, he had set up a campaign in which his guests could make a donation to 2 charities. In the context of his 80th birthday and living in freedom for 80 years, one of these charities became our foundation. 80 years of freedom must be celebrated and everyone must be aware of this luxury. Our freedom has cost many sacrifices and still produces victims, which is why we must be grateful to veterans for ensuring this freedom. In the end, Mr. van de Poll supplemented the amount and presented a check for no less than €2,500 at his office. Mr. van de Poll: “With this contribution, I would like to express my appreciation for the impressive daily tribute that you pay to the allied soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom.”
