Trainee challenge in Birkenfeld: fun, team spirit and great fundraising campaign!
The eagerly awaited trainee challenge recently took place in the beautiful town of Birkenfeld, which was now held again after last year's success. Organized by Sibylle Willrich from Howatherm, around 80 trainees from 15 different companies and institutions took part this time. These include well-known companies such as the Elisabeth Foundation of the DRK, Westnetz GmbH and Fritsch GmbH. The event, which was full of team spirit and a happy atmosphere, was held in the Elisabeth Foundation sports hall, where, despite the rain, everything ran smoothly and the trainees fought hard for victory. [Wochenspiegel] reports that the idea for the trainee challenge was born in the region's trainers' regular table.
A special highlight of the event was the award ceremony, which was conducted by District Administrator Miroslaw Kowalski. The Elisabeth Foundation's trainee team secured first place and was awarded a trophy. The other places went to the “Punching Machines” team from Loch in second place and the “Air Pumps” team from Howatherm in third place. [Near News] summarizes that there were a total of 15 exciting game stations, including basketball, Viking chess and a regional quiz, all of which promoted team spirit and sporting activity.
A good work for the Lützelsoon support association
But the best thing about this event? The proceeds went to the Lützelsoon support association, which supports children with cancer and those in need as well as their families in the Birkenfeld district. At the closing ceremony, a donation check for an impressive 2,761.10 euros was handed over to Herbert Wirzius, the association's honorary chairman. Mr. Wirzius warmly thanked all organizers and participants for their commitment. This was all made possible through the support of local companies such as Hochwald Sprudel, Globus and the Elisabeth Foundation. These companies provided snacks and drinks to ensure that the trainees were perfectly looked after and felt completely comfortable.
In addition to the sporting activities, the trainee challenge offered the opportunity to get to know each other better and improve communication between the trainees. Events like these are not only an excellent opportunity for team building, but also suitable for imparting knowledge, for example in the areas of company health management. [Your Team Event] emphasizes that such events help to increase identification with the company and also take place in a relaxed atmosphere. Various activities that can be customized ensure that every event is unique.
In summary, it can be said that the trainee challenge in Birkenfeld is not only a sporting highlight, but also makes a valuable contribution to a good cause. Team spirit was emphasized here and at the same time the community was strengthened - a great example of the cooperation between companies and their responsibility for society.
