Ice Hockey superstar Teemu Selänne and Samlerhuset Finland have raised over 40 000 euro for Finnish children in need.
Teemu Selänne says:
“The dream of one hundred children comes true. That is remarkable. I am very grateful that so many Finns took part in this campaign. With over 40 000 euro we are able to brighten very many children´s lives in so many different ways”.
The charity campaign was built up around a Teemu Selänne medal, which was produced and sold by the Finnish branch of Samlerhuset, Suomen Moneta. Over 45 000 people in Finland ordered the medal.
