FUCHS PETROLUB awards EUR 50,000 to social projects in Mannheim
On October 24, 2013, the globally operating lubricant group FUCHS PETROLUB
presented its FUCHS social sponsorship award for the fourteenth time in the
presence of patron, Lord Mayor Dr. Peter Kurz. The increased total
sponsorship fund of EUR 50,000 meant that children and youngsters of all
ages, people in mourning, migrants and those suffering from mental illness
in Mannheim could all be taken into consideration in the projects selected.
'The FUCHS sponsorship award is an expression of our recognition of the
diverse commitments and social interaction in Mannheim,' explains Stefan
Fuchs, Chairman of the Executive Board at FUCHS PETROLUB.
The largest individual sum of EUR 10,000 went to the 'Trauercafé' project.
This project helps people who have lost a loved one to overcome their
grief. A further EUR 8,500 was awarded to the project entitled 'Ohne Musik
wäre das Leben ein Irrtum' or 'Life is nothing without music' of the
'Freunde der Krippe Weidenstraße' support group. The 'Filsbach goes Radio'
project for promoting integration and social commitment among young people
also received EUR 5,000 in support. The project entitled 'Musik macht
Schule - Schule macht Musik' was awarded EUR 5,000 in sponsorship to boost
integration and intercultural understanding through music. The project that
provides language courses for immigrants, entitled 'Sprache ist das A und
O' also received EUR 4,500 in support. A further EUR 3,000 went to the
project entitled 'Ausstattung Werk- und Ergotherapie' that seeks to provide
occupational and ergotherapy equipment for those suffering from mental
illness at the St. Anna Haus. The student initiative for children also
received EUR 2,400 for its private tutoring project. The project entitled
'Ich werde gebraucht' or 'I am needed' of the 'Plus Psychologische Lesben-
und Schwulenberatung Rhein-Neckar e.V.' psychological counseling
association for gays and lesbians in the Rhein-Neckar region received EUR
2,300 in support, while the Mannheim Jewish Community was awarded EUR 2,300
for its project entitled 'Sprachkurse für Zuwanderer' that provides
language courses for immigrants. Besides these projects, the 'Hofprojekt'
or 'School Yard Project' of the 'Alphörnchen Kinderladen' children's
association received EUR 2,000 in sponsorship. In keeping with the
tradition of previous years, the regional consortium of self-help groups in
Mannheim was awarded EUR 5,000 in sponsorship.
In addition to this, Willis GmbH&Co. KG, FUCHS PETROLUB's insurance
broker, once again provided EUR 5,000 as a donation. This money went to the
project of the Baden-Württemberg Pop Academy entitled 'Popmusikalische
Qualifizierung für pädagogische Lehrkräfte der Grundschule im Mannheimer
Jungbusch', which provides popular music training for teachers at the
elementary school in the Mannheim district of Jungbusch.
Dr. Peter Kurz praised FUCHS PETROLUB's social responsibility and expressed
his sincerest gratitude to everyone involved encouraging them to continue
with their commitment to supporting the local community.
