Brother International GmbH runs for a good cause!

After the coronavirus break, we were delighted to welcome Brother International GmbH back to our foundation. The company representatives brought along a cheque for 5,000 euros.

Brother International has been organising the “Golden Ring” charity project worldwide since 2012. The idea behind this is for all subsidiaries to join together to form a ring and focus on the issue of cancer. Brother Germany has been taking part in the “Golden Ring Run” since 2014. For every lap run, Brother donates a certain amount of money to support cancer-related projects. After receiving a total donation of € 100,000 in 2014-2019, we were once again the beneficiary of a generous donation cheque for € 5,000 in 2023.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to Brother and all those involved for their loyal support over the years. Without the help of so many people, research into new cancer therapies for children and young people would not be possible.

WCP GmbH from Messel once again donates € 10,000

In 2023, WCP GmbH in Messel once again donated a 5-figure sum to the foundation. Over the years, more than €100,000 has been raised. We would like to thank Sven Mattis and his team from the bottom of our hearts.

Our board member Uwe Menger and managing director Marcus Klüssendorf were able to experience the similarities between prototype construction and research during an extensive tour of the production facilities. In both areas, extensive research and testing must first be carried out. Reliable results usually only emerge after many failures. As is often the case, the path to a solution is the famous search for a needle in a haystack.

We hope to be able to count on the valuable support of WCP and the entire team in our anniversary year 2024.

A big THANK YOU to Mr Mattis for his loyal and valuable support.

Doing good and talking about it

Last week, we had a visit from Stefanie Symmank, founder and Managing Director of VFS Personalberatungs GmbH, and her colleague Moritz Fahrig.

As an entrepreneur, Mrs Symmank is very keen to take responsibility for sustainable management in economic, ecological and social terms – and to show this to the outside world.

This year, she has decided to support children’s cancer research at our company with 50 euros per successful recruitment. An impressive 1,400 euros have been credited to our donation account. We very much appreciate this valuable contribution towards our goal of giving all children and young people with cancer a chance of a cure.

THANK YOU for this great social commitment.

Thanks to a loyal sponsor

Our loyal sponsor Markus Bernsteiner from the company Arnold AG in Frankfurt has taken up his tradition again and made a donation to us in honour of the year. Last week, our Managing Director Marcus Klüssendorf was able to accept the generous donation of 2,023 euros at the Arnold company premises. A big THANK YOU to Mr Bernsteiner for his renewed valuable support for children’s cancer research. We greatly appreciate his many years of commitment.

Meseth GmbH once again supports children’s cancer research

We recently had another nice visit from Mrs Marina Schloßnagel from the Frankfurt roofing company Hans Jürgen Meseth GmbH. This year, the company has once again decided to do something good and make a donation instead of giving Christmas presents to its customers. A fine example of assuming social responsibility.
Still convinced of the existential importance of paediatric cancer research in our company, Moriz Pilsel, Managing Director of Meseth GmbH, and his team knew that the donation would once again go to our foundation.
We would like to express our sincere thanks for the generous 2,500 euros – and for the loyalty and trust placed in us.

Anniversary celebration in aid of children’s cancer research

On July 15, 2023, the REWE store at Europaallee 118 in Frankfurt celebrated its 10th anniversary. The manager of the store, Mr. Ali Osman Kayabasi, was very keen to support children’s cancer research. Therefore, he chose the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer as the recipient of the proceeds of the event.

The festival was excellently organized – there were great offers for children and the physical well-being of the young and old visitors was also well taken care of.

The Foundation was present with an information booth throughout the day – supported by volunteers who actively assisted us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank these dedicated people.

Despite the mixed weather, the event was well attended, and there was also a lot of interest in the important research work being done at our research center.

It was a great day for us, because all visitors contributed with their participation and their attention for the work of our foundation to the considerable donation sum of 2,285 euros, which we could receive at the end of the day. A great result, considering that an unexpected strong wind led to the premature termination of the event. This important contribution brings us again one step closer to the most important goal of the Foundation: to be able to cure all children and young people suffering from cancer.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to all visitors of the event as well as to the manager of the REWE store and his team for this valuable support.

Chimney sweep 2023 happiness tour

For 18 years, the association “Glückstour – Schornsteinfeger helfen krebskranken Kindern e. V.” has been organizing its annual Glückstour. On this tour, numerous chimney sweeps cycle around 1,000 kilometers through Germany in all weathers and diligently collect donations for children with serious illnesses and cancer. At the individual stage destinations, the donations are handed over directly and without deduction to local associations and organizations.
During the Glückstour 2023 in Aschaffenburg, our charitable foundation, among others, was able to receive a donation check in the amount of 3,000 euros. We are delighted to have been able to take part in this year’s event and would like to thank you very much for this great commitment.

A thank you to juunit GmbH

The juunit GmbH charity campaign in December 2022 raised no less than 1,250 euros. With this great result, Managing Director Dennis Schwarzer did not miss the opportunity to personally present the donation to our Chairman of the Board, Dr. med. Jürgen Vogt, and the Managing Director of the Foundation, Marcus Klüssendorf. He was accompanied by his employee Silke Steul.

During a guided tour of the Foundation’s own research house, our visitors were able to see for themselves the importance of the scientific work taking place here.

A big THANK YOU to juunit GmbH and all those involved for this important support, which helps us on our way to achieving our goal of one day curing all children and young people suffering from cancer.
