With their cup deposit donation on the last home match day, the VfL Bochum fans supported our Bochum “Fußball trifft Kultur” locations with over €4,000.
On a seemingly ordinary Bundesliga Saturday at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion, we at LitCam had the honor and pleasure of collecting donations for our FtK locations in Bochum. The highlight: VfL fans were able to support us directly and easily by dropping off their empty deposit cup in one of nine collection garbage cans. The converted proceeds went in full to our FtK locations in Bochum.
Whether before the game, during the half-time break or after the final whistle: many motivated helpers – mainly teachers and pupils from our cooperation partner Werner-von-Siemens Hauptschule Bochum – collected cups without end. Our loyal FtK mascot Litti was also there, helping out diligently and drawing attention to the campaign. At the end of the day, a whopping €4,000 was raised, which we were very proud of and grateful for.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank VfL Bochum, our volunteers and the VfL fans who supported us and our beneficiary children with this campaign and the associated commitment. We had hardly expected such a willingness to donate on the part of the fans due to the unfortunate outcome of the match for VfL, chapeau!
