A helping contribution for our little ones
In 2024, we were once again able to collect a respectable amount in our annual ‘Spenden statt Schenken’ campaign and donate it to a charitable cause. This time, it was the turn of the kindergartens in our region, which were delighted to receive financial support. Continue reading
Important building blocks in the development of every child are laid in everyday kindergarten life – after all, our children often spend a large part of the day at kindergarten. This makes it all the more important that not only the staffing is right, but also the materials.
While we can have little influence on the former, we can at least contribute to the latter with an amount from our ‘Spenden statt Schenken’ campaign. Our donations to the campaign are therefore channelled to kindergartens and schools in alternating years. We believe this is a good investment, as the proper basic development of our children must be and remain an important social goal.
This year, we were once again able to support 13 kindergartens and daycare centres in our region through our fundraising campaign. Of course, each organisation is free to decide how to use the donations. From toys and learning materials to the financing of activities and excursions to the purchase of necessary furnishings, the range of possible investments is wide. The main thing is that our contribution helps to relieve the usually tight budgets of our daycare centres.
Each kindergarten received a donation of 800 Euros.
For 21 years now (for the first time in 2003), we have been asking our business partners for donations instead of Christmas presents. Last year, numerous companies once again supported us, raising a total of 4,995 Euros. As always, we doubled the amount donated and even added a little extra so that we could distribute a round sum to all the organisations. We were thus able to distribute a total of 10,400 Euros to 13 kindergartens.
Precisely because the willingness to donate has been steadily declining in recent years, we would like to thank everyone involved for their important contribution, also on behalf of the organisations receiving donations and their many hundreds of children. We and the kindergartens and schools in the region would be delighted if you would remain loyal to us again next year and support us in our campaign. We know that this cannot be taken for granted. Thank you for that!
The following amounts have been donated in the last ten years:
The campaign had to be suspended in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
