Our journey from vision to association
Spontaneous ideas often lead to great projects. And Be Strong For Kids (BSFK) has long been more than that for us; it’s a true passion project and a lifelong commitment. It all started in 2016 with a private fundraising initiative: Jörn Schulz from Essen, a teacher with a passion for his work and now the chairman of BSFK, launched it to benefit children with cancer – and wanted to kickstart the effort with a sporting charity event. The “Ruhr Tour 2017” event raised an incredible €13,000 and made it abundantly clear to us: We have to continue with BSFK!
Help for sick or disadvantaged children from the Ruhr area
What began in 2016 with a desire to help now pursues this goal more intensively and on a larger scale than ever before. Since the association’s inception, nearly €1,000,000 has been raised through campaigns and appeals for the benefit of sick, disabled, or socially disadvantaged children and young people in the Ruhr region. This money goes 100% to our own projects or to the movement-promoting initiatives of our partner organizations. Your donations therefore go exactly where they are needed: to the children.
We do not cover any structural costs through donations, but exclusively through grants.
And what about the future? We want to secure our existing programs for the long term, expand them further, and add new sporting and cultural activities. For this, we need your help and support. Together with you, we can achieve so much more for physically disabled, ill, and disadvantaged children in the Ruhr region.
