The Obertshausen-based TK distributor einsAmobile GmbH regularly donates to charitable and social causes. This year, the amount intended for business partners' Christmas presents will be donated to two foundations: one to the Frankfurt Foundation and the association "Hilfe für krebskranke Kinder e.V." and the other to the Movember Foundation.
Dr. Jens-Uwe Vogel, Head of Science Management, accepted the sum of €1,500 on behalf of the foundation and the association, which are active in research and offer concrete help for those affected: "We will invest the donation directly in cancer research. The focus here is on establishing and cultivating chemotherapy-resistant cancer cells. These cells can be used to develop new drugs that will benefit patients who are no longer responding to current therapies."
The donation to the Movember Foundation was the result of an internal company campaign in which employees lent their faces to the "einsA-MO-bile Team" and collected money from einsAmobile GmbH in return. For every employee picture with a moustache published on the team page, the company donated an amount of €5 and then rounded up the sum to a total of €500. This money goes to programs in Germany that save and improve men's lives. "Men's health is often underestimated, so this amount will make an important contribution to the fight against prostate and testicular cancer and suicide prevention, among other things," says Michael Fischer, European Projects Manager of the Movember Foundation.
Hakan Erdem, Head of Marketing at einsAmobile GmbH, commented: "Social responsibility is part of our corporate identity. We are therefore delighted to be able to support these two important projects."
About the "Hilfe für krebskranke Kinder Frankfurt e.V." and the "Frankfurter Stiftung für krebskranke Kinder"
The "Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer" was established in 1994 by the association "Hilfe für krebskranke Kinder Frankfurt e.V.". To this day, the foundation's board of directors is identical to the association's board, which is made up of affected parents. This personal connection between the association and the foundation ensures that both institutions can dedicate themselves specifically to their task of helping children with cancer.
