Press release 20th September 2017

Crovv Networking Benefit evening for Sint Maarten raised more than € 10,000.-

On Wednesday evening, September 20th, The Crovv Network Experience! Edition for Sint Maarten took place in Villa de Vier Jaargetijden and it was a GREAT success! A total of € 10,741.00 was raised. This evening was all about raising money for the badly hit island of St. Maarten and we can say that it was successful!
"It's great to see", says Ton van de Ven Founder & CEO of Crovv, "that there are so many involved entrepreneurs in the Netherlands.

In recent weeks I have heard the statement several times: "If t will happen to you, you just lose everything you have worked for!". In one way or another, entrepreneurs feel connected to the entrepreneurs on Sint Maarten and I think that is why we have raised such a nice amount. There is a good bid on the 52 lots during the goods and services auction. The ticket and coin sales have also made that we have brought this amount together. In addition, several separate donations have also been received what makes Wednesday evening the final score was € 10,741.00. "
"But it does not stop as far as we are concerned with this evening", Ton continues the conversation. "We will regularly share up-dates in the coming weeks and months via the Facebook page 'St. Maarten Benefietavond '. With this we would like to take everyone along in the reconstruction and we can see that the money is well spent. The progress can be followed step by step. There are also other plans on how entrepreneurs want to support the reconstruction, but these plans still need to be worked out in more detail. When the plans are concrete, we are happy to share this with everyone. Once again we want to thank everyone, directly and indirectly, for their involvement and donations. I am so happy and proud that we have achieved this!"
