The new Fibank calendar shows prominent Bulgarian actors, winners of the "Ikar" award

Fibank (First Investment Bank) and the Union of Actors in Bulgaria (UAB) presented the calendar for 2017 with photographs of prominent Bulgarian actors, winners of the prestigious award "Ikar" during the years.

Calendar 2017 - "Actors with good hearts" - is a joint charity initiative of Fibank and the Union of Actors in Bulgaria. It will be employed as a form of support for the social program of the Union, which includes the securing a dignified life style for the ageing Bulgarian actors as well as support for the talented students in the theatrical arts.

Anyone who wishes to participate and support the social program of the Union of Actors in Bulgaria can purchase the 2017 calendar for the sum of BGN 10. At the end of the campaign Fibank will double the collected funds.

The luxurious wall calendar presents captured moments of the unforgettable artistic presence of Alexander Kadiev, Anastasia Lyutova, Boryana Bratoeva, Valentin Ganev, Vladimir Penev, Zachary Baharov, Krasimira Kuzmanova, Cassiel Noah Asher, Lilia Maravilha, Sarah Yanorova, Hristo Mutafchiev and Julian Vergov.

The president of the Union of Actors in Bulgaria, Mr. Hristo Mutafchiev, extended his special gratitude to the actors participating in this noble cause and thanked Fibank, which for the third consecutive year stands behind the initiative and grants its support for the "Social fund" of the UAB.

The calendar is published in a limited edition and until available may be purchased in all Fibank branches and offices.

The First Investment Bank develops its corporate social responsibility and with its copyright calendars has worked to support a number of different causes. In 2012, the bank published a calendar containing photographs of iconic names in Bulgarian sports (Jordan Jovtchev, Stanka Zlateva, Maria Grozdeva, etc.). On that occasion the athletes themselves refused the offered fees for participation in the photo session and the collected funds were donated to the Bulgarian Paralympic Committee.

Together with the Bulgarian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation (BFHG, Bul.), in 2014 the bank designed and printed a unique calendar with photos of the golden girls of Bulgaria - Mihaela Maevska, Tsvetelina Stoyanova, Tsvetelina Naydenova and Christiana Todorova. The calendar was offered for sale, the collected funds were doubled by Fibank and used as a support for the girl’s ensemble and its participation in the Olympic games in Rio, where the girls won a bronze medal.

In 2015 Fibank, and the "Dimitar Berbatov" foundation, created a calendar to support talented Bulgarian children. The bank doubled the funds, collected from the sale, and made a donation to the Foundation to be used in support of gifted children and their future development.
