Häfner Metall's Decade of Success: Celebrating a Milestone while Supporting Charitable Causes
Justina Henrich, the Managing Director of Metallverarbeitung Haéfner in Dermbach, recently organised a successful philanthropic summer festival to celebrate her company's 10-year anniversary. The event, held in Bad Salzungen, served as a significant fundraiser for the Ambulant Hospice Center for Children, Youth, and Adults, and the stationary hospice St. Wendel, both located in the town.
Henrich's initiative generated an impressive amount of €920, which will contribute to the construction of the stationary hospice St. Wendel. The funds were raised through various activities during the festival, and all donors played a part in the successful fundraising effort.
Henrich's personal encounter with the hospice center sparked her interest in supporting its cause. Recognising the hospice center’s funding challenges and the increasing demand for their services, she sought to create an event that would both raise crucial funds and build community awareness about hospice care.
The summer festival was designed as a joyful, inclusive celebration featuring local music, food, cultural activities, and informational booths about hospice work. It served dual purposes: offering a positive communal experience and fostering a deeper understanding of hospice care’s importance.
The impact of Justina Henrich’s philanthropic summer festival has been significant:
- Financial Support: The festival has generated critical funding that enables the hospice center to maintain and expand its patient services, including home visits, counseling, and support groups for children, youth, and adult patients.
- Community Engagement: By drawing broad participation, the event has raised public awareness, destigmatizing hospice care and promoting volunteerism and donations.
- Emotional Connection: The festival provides a supportive space for families affected by terminal illness to come together, share experiences, and find comfort within their community.
- Sustainable Model: Through its annual recurrence, the festival has become a reliable source of ongoing support, inspiring other local initiatives and encouraging collaborative efforts among businesses, healthcare providers, and residents.
In addition to the festival, Henrich also visited the Ambulant Hospice Center for Children, Youth, and Adults in Bad Salzungen. Accompanied by her daughter and granddaughter, she took the opportunity to thank the staff for their tireless work and express her gratitude for the difference they make in the lives of those they serve.
The success of Justina Henrich’s philanthropic endeavours underscores her commitment to her community and her dedication to improving the lives of those in need. The funds raised will undoubtedly contribute to the construction of the stationary hospice St. Wendel, ensuring that the hospice center can continue to provide compassionate, end-of-life care and emotional support to patients and their families for years to come.
Justina Henrich's philanthropic summer festival not only promoted outdoor-living, home-and-garden activities but also raised a substantial €920 towards the construction of the stationary hospice St. Wendel, benefiting the Ambulant Hospice Center for Children, Youth, and Adults by expanding their services and fostering community awareness about hospice care. As a result, her initiative will contribute to the improvement of lifestyle, not only in a literal sense but also by providing emotional support for families affected by terminal illness.
