With the Gammel Family Social Fund, we want to provide targeted help where support is urgently needed. The fund consists of the proceeds from our internal Christmas party, at which an auction is held among our employees every year. In our regular staff meetings, we then collect suggestions for possible donation recipients together - this is how we decide as a team where the donations go.
There was still €4,000 available from the 2025 fund, so we jointly decided to donate half of it - €2,000 - to VKKK Ostbayern e.V..
The association for the promotion of children with cancer and physical disabilities in Eastern Bavaria (VKKK) supports children and young people with cancer and their families with care, financial assistance and practical support.
We were delighted to welcome board member Reinhard Schöttl to our premises to hand over the donation. Together with Gudrun Gammel and employees, the donation check was handed over. Mr. Schöttl expressed his sincere thanks and made it clear how important every single donation is for the work of the VKKK - because there is hardly any state support.
Around 94 new cases of children with cancer are recorded there every year, mainly leukemia. Most of the donations go towards social hardship cases and benefit families in need - for example for travel, accommodation and care costs. The VKKK parents' home is fully occupied all year round and enables parents to stay close to their child during treatment. Even after surviving cancer, the physical and psychological consequences are often considerable. With the aftercare center in Zeitlarn, which will be completed in 2025, the VKKK accompanies the affected children and their entire families back to life. Donations are also urgently needed here for equipment and ongoing services.
A big thank you to all our employees: Together we show how much we can achieve - and we are very proud of that. 💛
