Sprinting, jogging, walking, strolling: The 328 participants of the first-ever RAMPF Charity Run – employees and their families as well as members of sponsored sports clubs – completed a total of 6,066 laps for a good cause at the Otto-Dipper-Stadion in Metzingen. This amounted to 2,426 kilometers.
The RAMPF Group donated one euro for every lap completed. The donation sum of 6,066 euros resulting from the laps completed was doubled by the company, and a further 628 euros were collected in donation boxes and through drinks sales.
A total of 12,760 euros was raised, half of which was donated to Frühchen e.V. Reutlingen and to the Rudolf Rampf Foundation, respectively.
Matthias Rampf and Michael Rampf, CEOs of the RAMPF Group:
“We are overwhelmed by the high level of participation and the great commitment of our employees and their families as well as our partner sports clubs. A big thank you to everyone who took part, organized, and supported this fantastic event. We are delighted with the donation sum that we raised together for Frühchen e.V. Reutlingen and the Rudolf Rampf Foundation.”
Successful concept – exercise for a good cause
The idea of a company charity run was born as part of RAMPF's occupational health management program. “We thought about how we could combine the fun of sporting activity with a good cause and bring people together to achieve a common goal. This gave rise to the idea of the RAMPF Charity Run”, explain Jasmin Berger and Kai Augustin, who organized the charity run and work as HR experts at the RAMPF holding company. “Due to the overwhelming response to the event, one thing is already certain – the second edition will take place next year!”
