The donations of our last big EvoFit Challenge went to the children’s hospice Sterntaler e.V. in Dudenhofen. The association does very important work and has other branches besides the hospice: Outpatient care, a daycare center in Mannheim for children under the age of 3, bereavement counseling for children who have died, and much more. In Mannheim, there is also a second-hand children’s clothing store called Sterntaler Lädchen. The sale of donations helps to raise money to fund the hospice.
Our Managing Director Timo Elbert personally handed over our donation at the end of April. When he arrived at the children’s hospice, he was welcomed by Mrs. Däuwel, who explained the details and shared background information about the work of children’s hospices in general, but especially how Sterntaler does it. In contrast to an “adult hospice”, children and young people are not only cared for during their last days, but often for several months or years.
“It was really impressive to see how everyone there has turned an old mill into a really nice place with a lot of love for details. There is a lovely large garden, the whole place is warm and well designed, all the staff put their heart and soul into it and there are great community activities.” Timo explained.
The children’s hospice needs more than €1 million a year to operate. We are happy to be able to make a small contribution and are glad that such facilities exist! Many thanks to Timo for the personal involvement, to Simone Ganz for the impulse and to all Evorians for raising the amount together!
Evora IT Solutions has always been a very sporty company. Once a year, always in the fall, we kick off our global EvoFit Challenge to start the dark season together in an active way and to collect as many “minutes” as possible. Last year, within the challenge period of three weeks, we managed to log a total of 1,610 activities as a company, which adds up to 1,661 hours and 5 minutes of movement and activity! Thanks to everyone who participated and made it possible to do this donation!
