Anonymous donations to local sports is probably not something rare phenomenon in Norway, but the question is still on the surprise as chairman of Varhaug IL received Thursday takes the proverbial cake.
The sum is one thing, but also the way donation was made on stand out a bit.
Chairman Morten Jelsa (35) found namely half a million – in cash – the mailbox when he came home from work, writes Jaerbladet.
Monetary donation consisted of 500,000 slips nicely was folded in ten and ten.
– I had just parked the car when I got a call from an unknown phone number. The person introduced himself not, but asked me to check the mailbox. And there lay the money. I knew at once what it was, say Jelsa to TV2.
Got the same gift in 2014
And the reason he did it is simple: Varhaug-chairman has actually experienced exactly the same thing once before .
in 2014 came namely Jelsa home and found the exact same sum – 500 000 million – ten envelopes in the mailbox.
Think of the wealthy gift was undeniably special, admits Jelsa.
– There is something special about seeing 500,000 kroner physically in front of them. It is not the same as looking at NOK 500 000 in the online bank, to put it that way, he says and laughs.
– There was also a bit especially when I had taken out all the money and would take pictures of them. I placed the top of each other on the table, but bumped into the stack. When dropped 300,000 kroner to the floor. Heh heh, I have not experienced before, says Jelsa.
Monetary gift comes naturally very handy for the small recreational sports team.
Varhaug finalizes namely a multipurpose hall that will be ready for the summer.
– the money helps us very much, and makes the operation much easier to come by of debt can be decreased. This means infinitely for both the club and the district. Everyone was excited about this, telling Jelsa.
Do not know who the donor is
Many will felt the temptation to take the money itself, but the loyal chairman is no doubt that the donation was intended to Varhaug IL, and he also put money straight into the sports club account.
– I did not think a second to keep the money self. This was supposed to Varhaug IL. There is no doubt about that. I went straight to the bank and put the money into, he said.
Jelsa do not know who the anonymous donor is.
– But I know that it’s an older woman . Whether she has a local presence or not, I know nothing about. I obviously want to find out who she is to thank properly. Meanwhile, I have no problems with respect that she wants to keep the anonymity of his, he said.
