As part of the FRICKE fördert initiative, the Heeslingen-based FRICKE Group has been supporting special projects implemented by charitable organisations across Germany for several years. The regional connection to their German locations is particularly important to the FRICKE Group. Organisations located within 30 kilometres of a company location are invited to apply for the FRICKE Social Run 2024.
As from now the application phase for the FRICKE Social Run started. Clubs and organisations can submit their social or charitable project for consideration up until 15th May at https://socialrun.fricke.de. The sporting achievements of FRICKE Group employees, who collect €2 for every kilometre they covered from 23rd May to 20th June, resulted in a total donation at the end of the four-week period. In the anniversary year 2023, a total of €38,906 was raised in this way.
FRICKE Social Run 2023 - How it works
Nurseries, schools, clubs and social or charitable organisations located within a 30 kilometre radius of one of the FRICKE Group's German locations can apply for the FRICKE Social Run. Applications can be submitted online until 15th May at https://socialrun.fricke.de.
Online voting will be available from 16th May to 22nd June via this link. Anyone can take part and vote for the project of their choice. Five projects are selected in this way, and two others with a particularly strong commitment to the common good each receive a wild card.
Organisations that won the previous year’s online vote or received a wild card cannot apply the following year. This ensures that the FRICKE Social Run supports as many different regional organisations as possible.
Versatile support
The FRICKE Social Run is also extremely popular with our colleagues outside Germany, which is why - in addition to seven German projects - the FRICKE Group is also supporting three European organisations. These were selected in advance by staff from our subsidiaries across Europe.
