Donating instead of giving

A big THANK YOU goes to the two managing directors Frank Erasmi and Gilbert Giura from NEXA Spedition GmbH in Hattersheim, who spontaneously visited us in our Research House on 22 December 2021. As in previous years, they again waived Christmas presents to their customers in 2021 in favour of a donation to a charitable organisation.

“Social commitment is a matter of course for us – also in our private lives”. Since founding the company in 2016, Frank Erasmi and Gilbert Giura have already supported several local institutions. In 2021, the decision was made to donate to our Frankfurt foundation. We are delighted to receive 2000 euros for children’s cancer research.

8 years of helping children’s cancer research

We were delighted when Markus Bernsteiner from the company Arnold GmbH in Frankfurt came to visit the Research House again in 2021 – and brought a donation of 1,500 euros with him. For the eighth year in a row, Markus Bernsteiner did not miss the opportunity to give children’s cancer research a boost so that one day all children and young people with the disease can be cured. We sincerely thank him for his many years of important support.

What research and prototyping have in common

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Sven Mattis, owner of the company WCP in Messel, for another valuable donation of 10,000 euros for children’s cancer research.
Sven Mattis sees a close connection between his field of activity and research. With this in mind, he has been supporting childhood cancer research at our company for many years.
“I support the important research work of the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer out of deepest conviction. Because, in my view, the two areas – research and prototype construction – have a lot in common: in both areas, extensive development and testing is required. Results sometimes only become apparent after a number of trials, successes can rarely be achieved immediately and, unfortunately, many things are only decided in the future.”
Seven years ago, Sven Mattis and the then managing director of the “Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer”, Rudolf Starck, met by chance at an event. During an intensive conversation, they also got to talk about the topic of children and health. As an affected father, Rudolf Starck described the problems in childhood cancer research during the course of the exchange. Sven Mattis immediately recognised the similarities to his field of activity and his interest was aroused.
During his visit to Frankfurt this year, Sven Mattis was intensively informed about the current state of research during a tour of our research house. He was impressed by the successes already achieved in connection with the SAMHAD1 enzyme in the treatment of leukaemia (more on this on our research page at https://kinderkrebsstiftung.formwandler.rocks/neue-erkenntnisse-zur-all-therapie/).
For the past 7 years, WCP GmbH has donated a considerable amount every year for the benefit of children and young people suffering from cancer; around 70,000 euros have been collected in the meantime

A beautiful donation in kind

After our logo relaunch in September 2021, some things need to be replaced. Alexander Werbetechnik in Otzberg-Lengfeld has given us two beautiful donation cheques and two building signs with our new logo. This donation in kind helps us to use the available funds for the actual research work.
A big thank you to Alexander Legrum and his team.

A donation in memory

On 28 July 2021, Mrs Edith Laber from Schaafheim came to Frankfurt together with her daughter and son-in-law to present us with a donation of 1,000 euros. This generous donation was made in the spirit of her husband Horst Laber, who passed away in May.

Three years ago, on the occasion of his 80th birthday, Horst Laber had asked for a donation for the children suffering from cancer instead of presents. A proud 1,200 Euros were collected at that time.

We would like to thank Mrs. Laber from the bottom of our hearts for this touching gesture to once again support the important research work at our centre in memory of her husband.

A matter of the heart

“No matter how bad the times may be, one must not disregard the important things in life”. With this conviction, Volker Bertaloth from Ober-Ramstadt presented a donation of 500 euros to our Managing Director Marcus Klüssendorf on 23 March 2021. It is a matter of the heart for Volker Bertaloth and his family to support the research work of the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer, even in the current stressful overall situation.
For this wonderful commitment we say a heartfelt THANK YOU!
