The Hartz couple inspires Vegesack: 20 years of joyful donations!
What drives a couple who have been raising money for charity for two decades? Alfred Hartz and his wife are known in Bremen and far beyond as generous donors. Last year they were pleased with the impressive result of 234,400 euros - the best result of their fundraising campaigns to date. Last year they were able to show a very good amount of 216,000 euros, which means a pleasing increase of 18,400 euros. The Hartz' don't just collect for specific projects, but over the years they have built up a dense network of private supporters and companies in the north of Bremen that helps them in their efforts to do good.
A bitter loss for many facilities during the Corona pandemic was clearly evident. The Lilge-Simon-Stift hospice and the Trauland, a center for grieving children and young people, in particular had great difficulties due to the lack of events. At a charity tournament at the Lesmona Golf Club in 2020, which took place under significantly modified conditions, 15,800 euros were still raised. Among the organizers were Alfred Hartz and his wife, who were able to generate 7,900 euros for hospice work with this event, which was particularly important in these difficult times. Johanniter.de emphasizes that such support through donations is essential for institutions.
Fundraising activities and engagement
Hard work and commitment pay off. The Hartz' are not only generous donors, but also sell items at markets and events. They are particularly fond of toys and are happy to offer them for good causes. The next Hökermarkt in Vegesack is just around the corner and will be the start of a new round of donations. As a former detective, Alfred Hartz, at the age of 78, still has a great interest in sporting activities, especially golf. He cleverly uses this passion to promote his social commitment and continually attract new sponsors.
A range of projects benefit from the couple's collections. The funds collected are usually divided equally between the supported institutions. Both the hospice and the center for grieving children and young people have received constant, reliable support for eleven years. The Hartz’s have not only decided to do good; they also put themselves at the service of the community. Providing help can be so easy, not with your own money, but through community commitment, as GoFundMe explains.
A role model for many
In times of crises and challenges, the Hartz show impressively how important it is to stand up for others. Their tireless efforts have not only improved the lives of many people, but have also inspired others to become actively involved. The increase in donations in recent years is a clear sign of the success of their work and the broad support they enjoy.
Whether through golf tournaments, selling toys or other activities, Alfred and his wife Hartz are living examples of what can be achieved through community and social responsibility. The couple shows that donating is not just about money, but also about the heart and soul that goes into every campaign. And that can only be positive for the future of social institutions in Bremen.
