All in all \u20ac24,000 were raised for the Frankfurt branch of Caritas, a non-profit social service organisation.<\/b>Race Director Jo Schindler from the organizing agency \u201emotion events\u201c and Aline Boike, representing the marathon team from Procter & Gamble on Monday gave the money to Gaby Hagmans, director of Caritas Frankfurt.<\/p>\n
The money was raised through inidividual donations from runners during the Frankfurt Marathon 2015 and will contribute to health- and sports-related activities with children in Caritas institutions.<\/p>\n
In addition, \u20ac3000 were donated for refugee children by radio host Dirk Froberg from hr who had raised the money also during last year\u2019s marathon.<\/p>\n
Gaby Hagmans was excited about the result. \u201e2015 again has shown that our charity partnership will motivate runners to support children in Frankfurt.\u201c When the project continues in 2016 the partnership will have run for ten years.<\/p>\n
So how did runners donate money during the marathon?<\/b> Very easy. As every year there is a \u201eDonation Gate\u201c at the Hauptwache. If a participant of the Frankfurt Marathon choose to run through this gate, he or she commits to a donation of \u20ac3.<\/p>\n
The succesful partnership between Caritas Frankfurt and the Frankfurt Marathon has been established in 2007. In these nine years more than \u20ac250,000 <\/b>have been raised. Enough for over 200 projects <\/b>to be funded by Caritas Frankfurt throughout the years. Funds are used for sports projects for children as well as related information campaigns.<\/p>\n
In return Caritas Frankfurt supports the marathon organisation by providing over 100 volunteers at and behind the finish line where they wait for runners with food, drinks and kind words. <\/p>\n
