You may know that it is customary (not compulsory) for Jobbers to take some toys or presents for the children of an Italian project which teh ItalianJob supports. This year we will support the Hospital ‘Bambin Gesu’ in Rome in addition to the donation we will present to the

Regina Margherita Hospital in Turin.

Auction: It is another Italian Job tradition for Jobbers to take ‘items’ for an IJ Auction in Italy.

There is a huge variety of items in the auction ranging from Mini or Italian Job themed things to completely unrelated items. Proceeds from the auction will be allocated 50% to the sponsorship target of the jobber donating the item and 50% to the jobber buying it.
