The three winners of the additional Tour of Hope prize draw were delighted to receive vouchers for natural gas worth a total of around 2,500 euros. Uwe Krug from Rabenau, Lothar Ohlwein from Gießen and Ulrike Groß from Wettenberg bought their tickets at the SWG information centre or at events organised by the municipal utility. "Winners thanks to an extra chance," congratulated Sales and Marketing Manager Ina Weller when presenting the prizes on 8 February in Giessen. The organisational director of the tour, Gerhard Becker, was also delighted with the winners on Monday.
With the additional prize donated every year, Stadtwerke is supporting the Tour of Hope fundraising campaign, in which celebrities from sport, science and business pedal in aid of children with cancer every year.
Cycling for a good cause
The Tour of Hope charity cycle tour takes its sporting fundraisers through German cities every summer - with outstanding success. Since the first tour in 1983, more than 20 million euros have been raised in donations for paediatric clinics in Germany and abroad. The aim is both to support researchers in the fight against cancer and to alleviate the physical and emotional suffering of sick children through new treatment concepts. More information on the fundraising campaign can be found online at www.tour-der-hoffnung.de.
