American heavy metal band Metallica has donated 250,000 euros to a Romanian association building the country’s first pediatric oncology hospital.
The donation to Daruieste Viata (Bestow Life), founded in 2012, came ahead of the band’s sold-out concert on August 14 – the fourth concert in the European Union state since 1999. The donation was made through Metallica’s nonprofit foundation All Within My Hands, it said in a statement
Construction began in mid-2018 on the hospital in Bucharest and is expected to be completed next year, with donations from 260,000 individuals and slightly fewer than 2,000 companies so far.
