wen­glor Do­na­tion Cam­paign for Urmel Kin­der­krebshil­fe Chil­dren’s Can­cer Cha­rity a Com­ple­te Suc­cess

wen­glor sen­so­ric, a family-​owned com­pany based in Tett­nang, Ger­many, and its em­plo­yees, suc­cess­fully co­llec­ted do­na­tions for Urmel Kin­der­krebshil­fe e.V. as part of the “weUr­mel do­na­tion cha­llen­ge 2022”: After just six months, do­na­tions to­ta­ling more than 11,000 euros were rai­sed for chil­dren with can­cer. The spe­cial thing about the achie­ve­ment was that the com­pany group and wen­glor em­plo­yees them­sel­ves were part of the multi-​stage cam­paign. Urmel board mem­ber Mi­chael Müller was ama­zed at the do­na­ted funds at the check pre­sen­ta­tion last Tues­day in Frie­drichsha­fen.

Three-​stage Cha­llen­ge Began in April
The weUr­mel do­na­tion cha­llen­ge star­ted back in April of this year. wen­glor Ma­na­ging Di­rec­tor Fa­bian Baur han­ded over an im­me­dia­te do­na­tion of 5,000 euros to Urmel at the be­gin­ning of the cam­paign. In the pe­riod that fo­llo­wed, all wen­glor em­plo­yees were asked to ge­ne­ra­te as many fo­llo­wers as pos­si­ble via the so­cial chan­nels of Urmel and wen­glor – with great suc­cess. More than 5,000 new users have been added since then, mea­ning that wen­glor is now han­ding over a further 5,000 euros in do­na­tions after a pe­riod of six months. Ho­we­ver, the em­plo­yees of the medium-​sized com­pany them­sel­ves were also en­cou­ra­ged to do­na­te money from their own poc­kets to a good cause as weUr­mel spon­sors. And they have: 1,125 euros was rai­sed th­rough further vo­lun­tary pri­va­te do­na­tions. An im­pres­si­ve re­sult for Urmel board mem­ber Mi­chael Müller: “I am per­so­nally de­ligh­ted that not only wen­glor, but also all em­plo­yees have ac­ti­vely par­ti­ci­pa­ted and sup­por­ted us,” says Müller. “With this money, we can help many fa­mi­lies who ur­gently need our sup­port.”

For wen­glor ma­na­ging di­rec­tors Fa­bian and Ra­fael Baur, both fathers them­sel­ves, the cam­paign was a mat­ter close to their hearts: “As fathers, we can’t ima­gi­ne the every­day stres­ses and suf­fe­ring cau­sed by can­cer in chil­dren. This makes it all the more im­por­tant for us to help those af­fec­ted and to raise awa­re­ness within the com­pany and be­yond. This is where the work of Urmel Kin­der­krebshil­fe comes in, and we want to sup­port that.” For six months, the cam­paign was avai­la­ble not only on the wen­glor web­si­te, but also on the com­pany’s own in­tra­net, on all so­cial media chan­nels and at a spe­cially de­sig­ned cam­paign stand at the site in Tett­nang, to en­su­re that as many em­plo­yees as pos­si­ble could take part.
