Duisburg. Cars, TVs, bicycles, travel and more are hidden behind the little doors
The Advent season will be very different this year, because Corona is “thwarting the bill” for many cherished customs such as the Christmas market. What remains in December, however, is the joy of being able to open a door every day on the sports advent calendar of the Lions Club Duisburg-Concordia, which is now available at around 20 sales outlets at a price of 5 euros. These can be found “with a click” under www.lions-sport-adventskalender.de. In the city center, the sports advent calendar is available from Mayersche Buchhandlung, GALERIA Kaufhof, Tourist Information, Lange Konzertkasse and City-Vinum.
“The last few years have shown that it pays to be fast, because the 8,000 sports advent calendars have always sold out in no time since our activity began in 2013. And this time again, 298 attractive prizes with a total value of 44,400 euros are hidden behind the little doors. Those lucky enough to get the ‘right’ lot number will receive a MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR, a bicycle, travel, television sets and more, ”reports Annegret Angerhausen-Reuter, President of the Lions Club Duisburg-Concordia. Therefore, a “huge” thank you goes to the award sponsors, who have again offered prizes for the good cause, because such reliable support in economically difficult times is anything but self-evident.
The proceeds from the sports advent calendar sale will once again benefit socially disadvantaged children and young people in Duisburg. “With the successful commitment of the actors of the Lions Club Duisburg-Concordia, a lot has been set up in the past: For example, nine football fields have now been revitalized in the entire city area – in cooperation with the commercial enterprises and the youth welfare office of the city of Duisburg. In addition, the net proceeds of the calendar sale also make sports and adventure education offers possible, as well as language support: at the Bildungslotsen für Duisburg eV, at the youth center EINSTEIN von OfJu eV – Open Youth Work in Duisburg-Neumühl and at the Blue House in Hochfeld. Promoting language and physical activity for socially disadvantaged children and adolescents in Duisburg is more important than ever during the pandemic, as it promotes participation and physical and mental well-being, “confirms Astrid Neese, Head of Family, Education and Culture, Work and Social Affairs.
“Joy shared is known to be the greatest joy. So it’s best to go to one of the sales outlets so that you, your family, your friends, neighbors, work colleagues or business partners can ‘secure’ a sports advent calendar. In this way you can help to do good and, on top of that, give yourself and those around you the chance of an attractive profit. Use the sports advent calendar as a nice gesture, appreciative attention and calorie-free ‘happy maker’ in difficult times, ”Angerhausen-Reuter encourages potential buyers.
Under www.Lions-Sport-Adventskalender.de All calendar owners will find out from December 1, 2020 whether they are among the lucky winners with their calendar number.
