e-con AG supports charity run “Running for the Kids” with 1,500 euros
e-con AG supported the Offline charity run “Running for the Kids” in December 2020 with a donation of € 1,500. The charity run was initiated by the two enthusiastic athletes Michael Heckelsmiller and Martin Fries. Due to the fact that all running events over the year were cancelled, they developed the idea to donate € 0.50 to a good cause for every kilometer run by themselves over the period from November 10th to December 10th 2020. The campaign was publicized via social media to reach many participants.
The recipient of the donations is the St. Nikolaus children’s hospice in Bad Grönenbach. The institution shows great commitment in supporting and accompanying sick children aged 0-18 years.
In total, the great sum of 8,764 kilometers was reached by December 21st 2020 and a total donation of € 7,571.58 was achieved.
“We are very happy to be able to hand over 100% of this large donation to the St. Nikolaus Children’s Hospice and thank all participants very much for this insanely great performance and the great result,” says the offline team. “A big thank you also goes to the companies and private sponsors who agreed to support our campaign financially despite the challenging time.”
