Final week, we realized that the Polish arm of UNICEF are glad to take your cash, so long as you meet their morality pointers — as a result of that’s how cash works. That revelation got here after Behemoth tried to donate the cash it raised by the sale of admittedly lovely black teddy bears, however have been finally rejected due to “the character of the messages accompanying the merchandise you promote.”

Though the cash would have gone on to help UNICEF Poland’s supposed mission of serving to youngsters in want, the band discovered a recipient of the practically $2,500 they raised prepared to make the most of their generosity. Szpital Dziecięcy Polanki, a youngsters’s hospital in Nergal’s hometown of Gdansk, was apparently prepared to miss Behemoth’s darkish imagery and put that cash to good use.

In line with a social media put up by Behemoth’s webstore admin, the funds switch went easily, which means all of the followers that donated by buying these cuddly little Satanic bears can relaxation straightforward figuring out their efforts weren’t wasted.

“Legions! The entire revenue from gross sales of 100 teddies turned out to be (rounded up) 10 000 PLN (round 2200 EUR). We’ve determined to immediately help the most important youngsters’s hospital in Nergal’s (and mine) hometown, @gdansk_official – Szpital Dziecięcy Polanki. They’re making the true miracles saving youngsters lives. Thanks Legions for being so beneficiant. The doc connected is a switch affirmation which I needed to put up as a proof we’ve completed it.”

We’re glad this story bought a cheerful ending in any case. To disclaim cash due to some silly ethical causes is simply short-sighted as Hell, nevertheless it shouldn’t actually be a shock, given Poland’s tremendous spiritual and right-wing bend as of late.
