Charity Event for The Moors Festival Garners Funds with No Product Demonstration
The artistic director of the Moers Festival, Tim Isfort, has expressed a desire to offer a unique festival experience and foster a change of perspective. True to this mission, the 55th Moers Festival, scheduled for next year, promises another special action.
In a recent event, the festival team partnered with Gerken, a local company, to provide a 60-meter high truck work platform for visitors to enjoy a panoramic view of the festival grounds and the city of Moers. The "moon travelers" who took advantage of the rides were not only treated to a breathtaking view but were also supporting a good cause.
Gerken's branch manager for Duisburg, Krefeld, and Wesel, Sebastian Wojcik, noted the high interest in the action, especially on better weather days. Over 130 rides were offered on a sunny Monday, despite unpredictable Pentecost weather that had disrupted the action on several days. The atmosphere during the rides was consistently positive.
The proceeds from the rides, amounting to five euros per ride, were donated to the Klartext für Kinder association. This local charity is known for its efforts to combat the effects of child and youth poverty in Moers, Neukirchen-Vluyn, Kamp-Lintfort, and Rheinberg.
Birgit Banze, board member of Klartext für Kinder, expressed gratitude for the donation, stating that every euro helps provide concrete support to children in need. The donation will contribute towards providing clothing, shoes, furniture, school bags, or leisure activities for children in need.
Klartext für Kinder operates independently and flexibly, working towards helping children and youth who are affected by poverty. Their unique social sponsorship model pairs sponsors with individual children or families, ensuring transparent use of funds and personalized support, leading to measurable improvements in children's living conditions and reduced child poverty in the supported regions.
For more detailed, up-to-date, and specific information on Klartext für Kinder’s social sponsorship model and its localized impact in the named municipalities, I recommend checking their official website or contacting the association directly. The Moers Festival and Gerken's decision to support a local initiative and have a direct impact on the ground is a testament to their commitment to the community.
The 55th Moers Festival, with its unique collaborations and focus on community impact, is shaping up to be an exciting event. Stay tuned for more updates!
Whatif the 55th Moers Festival plans to bring outdoor-living elements into its home-and-garden scheduled next year, comparable to the panoramic view experience of the moon travelers from the truck work platform partnership with Gerken?
With the proceeds from outdoor-living activities supporting local charities like Klartext für Kinder, whose lifestyle initiatives combat child and youth poverty in nearby regions, the Moers Festival aims to foster a change of perspective just as it did with the panoramic view rides.
