This year we are once again taking part in the Old Town Festival with a charity raffle, in cooperation with our friends from the Kulturgärtla. Thanks to many generous donations from companies and friends, we can raffle off prizes worth 500 € on the Sunday of the festival. Our special thanks go to our two main sponsors, the companies Symbionet from Burgbernheim and Dinzl from Schillingsfürst.

We are looking forward to a wonderful festival with many happy winners on Sunday. As always, 100% of the donations collected will of course go to our current projects in Malawi. We thank our sponsors who made this event possible!

We showed full commitment to our cause at the Ansbach city run in May 2016. This time we didn’t send any plastic animals into the race on our behalf – a 15-member team took to the starting line in person for Ansbach für Malawi! In addition, many runners from the Carolinum Gymnasium took part in the run for AfM. A great effort!
Beforehand, each runner had recruited sponsors who pledged to donate a certain amount to our association for every kilometer run. In fact, all of our runners made it to the finish line and, with the kilometers they ran, raised the proud sum of over 1,100 euros for AfM! As always, one hundred percent of the donations go to our projects in Malawi: at the moment, these are repairs and new equipment at the Mulanje Mission Hospital, and school meals at several Malawian schools.

Into the water, get set, quack!

The leisurely Rezat river hadn’t seen this much life in a long time: on the Sunday of the Old Town Festival, we sent 250 colorful plastic ducks racing between the Brücken-Center and the Theatersteg footbridge, and raffled off the racing ducks’ starting numbers to support our projects in Malawi. Throughout the entire Old Town Festival week beforehand, we had already been promoting the event in the city center – and, of course, our association. Hardly anyone, young or old, could say no to a photo with our mascot Grüßbert!
In the end, the race was a great success, bringing in around 800 euros in donations for our association. The weather was also still kind to us and the spectators in front of the Reitbahn during the race – the raffle drawing on the small Schlossplatz then took place in pouring rain. Our special thanks go to the team from the “Kulturgärtla,” who not only supported us by selling our raffle tickets – they even donated part of their tips to our good cause. Absolutely fantastic!
