Rowing for a good cause: BMW Hesse and the Frankfurt rowing club Germania are again inviting people to the big rowing ergometer fundraising campaign this year. On September 29, it will be "All in one boat" for the second time. Frankfurt celebrities as well as company teams and committed citizens can get into the oars from 1 to 4 p.m. on the
Roßmarkt for the benefit of the Kinderhilfestiftung Frankfurt. "Last year we were able to row
19,000 euros. Now, of course, we hope to top that amount this year," says Axel
Juhre, head of BMW's Central Branch Network. As of now, companies or private individuals can register in teams of four
free of charge to participate in the fundraising campaign: www.bmw-frankfurt.de/en/aktionen/alle-aktionen/alle-in-einem-boot/
In the charity action, each row on a rowing ergometer fills the donation battery, for each
watt rowed.x>BR</x> Watt donates BMW Hessen to the child welfare foundation Frankfurt and their project psychological emergency assistance
Frankfurt for children and young people. "We are delighted that BMW Hessen is organizing the rowing marathon again
this year," says Dr. Michael Henning, Chairman of the Board of the Kinderhilfestiftung Frankfurt e. V.,
adding, "Psychological Immediate Aid is an institution that is becoming increasingly
important in times of tight therapy schedules. We cannot and must not leave children and young people alone with their problems. The
Immediate Help has become an indispensable point of contact."
Representing Prime Minister Boris Rhein, patron of Psychological Emergency Aid, Uwe Becker,
State Secretary for European Affairs and Commissioner of the Hessian State Government for Jewish
Life and the Fight against Anti-Semitism, will welcome the rowers.
As last year, numerous celebrities will also be in the boat this time: Actor
Hannes Jaenicke, who supports the charity campaign "Drive sustainably, do good" of the BMW branch Frankfurt
. has also confirmed his participation, as have Frankfurt's Head of Economic Affairs Stephanie Wüst,
influencers Galia Brener-Rexroth and Younes Zarou, TV presenter Franziska Reichenbacher, entrepreneur
Dr. Johanna Höhl-Müller, tailor Stephan Görner with entrepreneur Nicole Ruppel, and magician Nicolai
Friedrich.
The Psychological Emergency Aid Frankfurt, which benefits from the fundraiser, is a counseling center that the
Children's Aid Foundation 2021 has established in cooperation with the University Hospital Frankfurt. Here, children
and adolescents from Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region can find quick and unbureaucratic help when they suffer from fears, worries or persistent sadness, for
example.
"All in one boat - rowing for a good cause" is part of the charity campaign "Drive sustainably, do good", which
the branch network is already organizing for the third year: For every test drive kilometer with an
electrified BMW or MINI, the branches in Hesse will donate a certain amount
to the Kinderhilfestiftung e. V. Frankfurt until October. This in turn invests the money in the Psychological Emergency Aid
Frankfurt.
