… Markus Bernsteiner, Managing Director of Arnold GmbH Frankfurt, comes to our research house to present a donation for children’s cancer research. This year we were again pleased to receive 1,500 euros. A heartfelt “THANK YOU” for this loyal and valuable support.

The team of FRED Executive Search GmbH had decided to support a regional non-profit organisation with a donation this year instead of Christmas presents to the clients.

We are pleased that our charitable Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer was chosen. We were happy to give the two employees Sophia Lück and Cynthia Heim a deeper insight into the important research work in the field of childhood and adolescent cancer during a tour of our building. When the two visited us again a few days later, accompanied by one of their bosses, Mr Hans M. Mantell, he too was convinced of the importance of the donation for children’s cancer research after a tour of our laboratories. Our managing director Marcus Klüssendorf was able to accept a fabulous 2,500 euros as a donation.

A big thank you to FRED Executive Search GmbH for this great and vital support, which gives hope for healing to the young patients and their families.

At a “raffle for a good cause”, employees of Gas-Union GmbH had the opportunity to buy technical equipment and furniture in the form of raffle tickets. This great campaign raised a proud sum of 7,650 euros.

At the end of September 2022, the Managing Director of Gas-Union GmbH, Dr. Tillmann Hosius, presented the donation cheque to our Managing Director Marcus Klüssendorf.

A big thank you to the employees of Gas-Union and to Dr. Hosius for this great idea for a donation.

A big thank you to Giuseppe Marino from Eiscafé Venezia in Sossenheim for a wonderful afternoon and the great donation of over 2,000 euros.

On 25 June 2022, there was a carefree and happy atmosphere on the Kirchberg in Sossenheim. Giuseppe Marino, owner of the ice cream parlour Venezia, had initiated a fundraising campaign under the motto “Sossenheim holds together” for the benefit of the research work of our Frankfurt foundation for children with cancer. He donated the proceeds from ice cream sales on this day and rounded up the sum to 2,000 euros at the end.

Also involved in this wonderful event were, among others, the day care centre “Regenbogenland” with a flea market “Alles fürs Kind” and the owner of the kiosk at Kirchberg.

Italian flair was provided by the band “The Duo Casual Band” and several old Fiat 500s.

Overjoyed, Giuseppe Marino held up the symbolic donation cheque towards the end of the event, which he then proudly presented to our board member Uwe Menger.

We would like to thank all the people who contributed to the success of this special day and to the fantastic donation sum.

P.S.: The donation amount has subsequently increased to no less than 2,405 euros.

On 4 June 2022, the time had finally come: After a forced break of two years, the 4th Benefit Oldtimer Star Ride and Oldtimer Meeting of the Oldtimer- und Motorsportverein Freigericht e. V. took place for the benefit of children with cancer.

A remarkable 7,000 euros were raised for the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer from the participants’ entry fees alone. The patron of the event, CDU member of the state parliament Max Schad, together with organiser Dirk Herrmann and Gründau’s mayor Gerald Helfrich, were delighted about this great result. The donation cheque was happily accepted by the foundation’s managing director, Marcus Klüssendorf.

Around 100 vehicles had started at 5 different locations on Whitsun Saturday morning to meet in the afternoon at the car park of Möbel Höffner in Gründau-Lieblos. There, about 300 more lovingly prepared classic cars could already be admired from the morning onwards.

The two bands “Weitsicht” and “Second Spring” provided good musical entertainment in the afternoon with a benefit concert.

Thanks to numerous “culinary donations”, the physical well-being was also well catered for.

A big THANK YOU to Dirk Herrmann and his team for their great personal commitment to the organisation as well as to all the people who – in whatever form – contributed to the great success of the event and the considerable amount of donations.
