Since 2014, the Arnold GmbH company has been supporting the important research work of the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer. In previous years, we received a donation amount corresponding to the year in each case. This is not possible this year due to the current situation. However, from the point of view of Managing Director Markus Bernsteiner, a donation still had to be made. And so we were able to receive a magnificent 1,111 euros on 16.12.2020.

A heartfelt THANK YOU for this wonderful gesture and for many years of loyalty.

This year, the company SINTRONICS GmbH from Schöneck has once again made a great donation to us. With 3,000 Euros they support the important research work in the field of cancer in children and adolescents.

A big thank you for this great commitment.
Dr. Constanze Schneider received the award for her scientific work on “SAMHD1 is a biomarker for cytarabine response and a therapeutic target in acute myeloid leukemia”, which was published in the journal “Nature Medicine”.

Until now, in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) it was not possible to predict which patients would respond to standard chemotherapy with cytarabine. With SAMHD1, a new biomarker was discovered that can be used to identify patients who respond to chemotherapy with a high degree of accuracy.

On 6 December 2020, mulled wine, hot cider and organic juice, as well as lard bread and goose fat, were served at the Nidda-Kampfbahn restaurant for a good cause. The demand was so great that Mary Massieu, accompanied by a moose and reindeer, was able to bring us a proud 600 euros donation for our foundation.

We would like to thank all the people who supported this campaign. Another big thank you goes to the landlord Holger Hauke, who made this amount possible with his top-up, and to Mary Massieu, who always organises great fundraising events for us.

We were delighted to welcome Nicole Pilsel and Marina Schloßnagel from the Frankfurt roofing company Hans Jürgen Meseth GmbH to our research house on 9 December 2020. Not only did they show great interest in the important research work at the Dr. Petra Joh-Haus, but they also had a donation of 2,500 euros in their luggage.
With this year’s Christmas fundraising campaign, Meseth GmbH wanted to support an organisation in Frankfurt that helps children and young people. They came across the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer on the internet and it was immediately clear: “That’s where our donation should go”.
We sincerely thank them for this great support.

For the third time, our board member Rudolf Starck was able to receive a generous donation from Sven Mattis, owner of the company WCP, on 20 November 2020. With 10,000 euros, WCP GmbH is once again supporting the research and work of the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer. On behalf of the young patients and their families, we would like to thank Sven Mattis and his team for this wonderful and important support.

We were very pleased to receive a letter from the WCP team after the donation:

“The WCP team would like to thank you very much for the beautiful and colourful picture that was presented to us by Mr. Rudolf Starck.
After an extraordinary year full of challenges and extreme events, we became aware once again that health cannot be taken for granted. Especially in difficult times – which often also have a negative financial impact – we want to think of our fellow men who find themselves in even more difficult situations.

WCP GmbH would therefore like to support the research and work of the organisation with this year’s donation to the “Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer”.”

Many thanks for these beneficial lines.

The “Niddastrand” in Frankfurt-Nied ended this year’s season with an event on 4 October 2020.

The head of the town Susanne Serke and her husband, the two Eintracht legends Kumljenovic and Skela, Frank Rusko from the Stadtmission Frankfurt-Nied and the restaurant Niddakampfbahn provided dedicated support.

Again this year, Mary Massieu personally presented us with the proceeds of 550 euros as a donation for the benefit of children and young people with cancer.

We would like to thank everyone for this great commitment.

The fourth charity star ride of the OMV Freigericht at Whitsun fell victim to the corona virus. Nevertheless, we received a donation for which we would like to express our sincere thanks.

40 participants were already registered, 34 had already paid their entry fee. 2,730 Euros were collected. The classic car drivers waived their right to a refund. Thus, the organisers were able to hand over 2,730 Euros to our Chairman of the Board, Dr. Jürgen Vogt, for the benefit of children and young people suffering from cancer.

Also on behalf of the young patients, a heartfelt thank you for this wonderful commitment.
