Charity Challenge instead of Christmas party and customer gifts
Augsburg, 15. December 2020 – meteocontrol GmbH entered the Advent season with an original idea: Instead of Christmas parties and customer gifts, employees have been playing for money in a weekly Charity Challenge. Financed by the company, the money is donated to the Augsburg-based “Der Bunte Kreis” association, an aftercare facility for families with seriously ill children. The amount donated is currently more than 3,000 Euros.
Usually, all of meteocontrol’s 180 or so employees come together at the Augsburg headquarters for the Christmas party, including those from the European subsidiaries. When it became obvious that such a festivity could not take place this year, the idea for the Charity Challenge was born – instead of the Christmas party and customer gifts at Christmas.
