Donation of funds and stylish, multifunctional new shirts for KTV Hohenlohe gymnasts
Künzelsau, October 01, 2018 – Bright-eyed kids at KTV Hohenlohe: young athletes in the gymnastics club are pleased about a generous monetary and material donation from the Albert Berner Foundation. The non-profit organization, founded in 1995 on the occasion of the 60th birthday of its namesake, is supporting the club with a financial donation of 6,000 euros. In addition, the young athletes can look forward to a complete set of new jerseys worth nearly 1,000 euros.
The Albert Berner Foundation is providing high-quality multifunctional shirts to a total of 60 young people. The boys and girls, aged between 5 and 15, will wear the jerseys at all public performances – from gymnastics performances at private celebrations and local festivities to official competitions. The stylish white outfit will celebrate its premiere in late October at the district gymnastic finals near Backnang, for which the KTV Hohenlohe Junior Team qualified last week.
“Regular exercise and communal activities in a club are important for the health and positive personality development of youngsters,” emphasizes Ursula Berner, Chairwoman of the Foundation Council of the Albert Berner Foundation, who presented the symbolic donation check. “It is a matter very dear to our hearts to support the Hohenlohe Gymnastics Club so that it can successfully continue its outstanding work with young people.”
As an association of the Hohenlohe Regional Gymnastics Association, the Hohenlohe Gymnastics Club has made a decisive contribution to the northernmost part of the Swabian Gymnastics Federation becoming a nationally recognized gymnastics stronghold. Since 2007, the Albert Berner Foundation has donated 6,000 euros annually to the Gymnastics Association, which is made up of the clubs TSG Waldenburg, TSV Ingelfingen, TSG Öhringen, TSV Niedernhall, TSV Markelsheim, TSV Crailsheim and TSV Künzelsau. The funds will be used to set up and expand professional structures at the Kochertal sport base as the field station of the DTB Gymnastics Talent School in Öhringen.
“We are very grateful that the Albert Berner Foundation and the Berner firm have repeatedly supported us over the years with monetary and material donations,” emphasizes KTV Board Member Erwin Bergmann. “Only with the help of such generous sponsors is it possible for us to create an optimal framework, including a full-time coach, while also keeping fees moderate for parents. In this way, every child who enjoys gymnastics and shows talent is able to participate.”
