Fendt Bundesliga betting community donates 1.600 Euros

The Fendt Bundesliga betting community has been supporting projects in the region Allgäu for 11 years. This year 1.600 Euros were collected and donated to the association Kinderbrücke Allgäu e.V. and the theatre school mobilé in Marktoberdorf.

The association Kinderbrücke Allgäu e.V. was founded 2001 in Kempten and is supporting families and children in need with aid projects and also preventive projects in the region Allgäu. “On one hand we are directly helping families by covering the costs of school trips, visual aids or urgently needed furniture. On the other hand we also support and finance preventive projects whereby many things can be tackled before they become a problem”, so Ursula Gollmitzer, 2nd Chairperson of the association. With the donation of 600 Euros complex projects like the HIPPY project (Home Instruction for Parents of Pre-School Youngsters) can be financed. The aim of this project is the joint learning of the German language by parents and pre-school children. Hereby, for example refugee children and parents are supported with book material and regular home visits. This not only increases the children’s educational opportunities but also promotes the German language of the parents.

The theatre school mobilé in Marktoberdorf has been in the hands of Monika Schubert for 38 years. It’s a place where children learn to play theatre and at the same time learn about social behavior in a community. It takes a lot of team spirit to bring a play on stage together. “If you look at the words ‘play theatre’ you can see that there a lot more behind it. I always associate the word play with joy. And that is exactly what I see when the children practice together in the theatre school”, so the theatre pedagogue Monika Schubert. With the donation of 1.000 Euros more children whose parents cannot afford it can be admitted to the theatre school from next September.

This year the Fendt betting community had 75 participants from different locations in Germany. Through the joint betting of the Bundesliga results the donation of 1.600 Euros was collected. Already at the beginning of the season 375 Euro were in the donation pot due to the participation fees. The first 20 winners of the betting community receive cash prizes and most of it goes into the donation pot. This was subsequently increased to 1.600 Euros by the Fendt company. In total, the betting community has so far been able to donate 15,500 Euros to various projects over the last years.
