Tour of Hope fundraising campaign
Every year, the Tour of Hope cycles through regions in Germany and collects donations in aid of children with cancer and leukaemia. Last year, the tour took committed cyclists from the worlds of sport, business, show business and politics through Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. 211 cyclists pedalled hard for four days and raised a record 945 thousand euros. Stadtwerke has also been supporting the goodwill campaign of the annual cycle tour for over ten years. Anyone who purchased a ticket for the Tour of Hope at events or at the SWG infoCentre was automatically entered into the additional prize draw organised by Stadtwerke, as were the lucky winners of this prize presentation.
